The increase in production and consumption of goods has generated a surplus of waste,
which destination is commonly the landfilling sites. This represents a major bottleneck in the …

This article presents a discussion of the ideas for modelling turbulent thermal plasma flows,
reviewing the challenges, efforts, and state-of-the-art simulations. Demonstrative simulations …

Plasma jets produced by direct-current (dc) non-transferred arc plasma torches, at the core
of technologies ranging from spray coating to pyrolysis, present intricate dynamics due to the …

Plasmas at atmospheric or higher pressures, typically denoted as thermal plasmas, are
partially ionized gases in which the high collision frequency among its constituents …

With the emergence of dense power due to the use of relatively low-voltage infrastructures,
which are becoming more common in distribution networks, the risks related to low-voltage …

We present, in this paper, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modeling of a three-phase
plasma torch. The MHD equations are solved using CFD software Code Saturne®, a …

In DC plasma spray torches, anode erosion is a common concern. It mainly depends on the
heat flux brought by the arc and on the dimensions and residence time of the arc attachment …

The cascaded-anode plasma torch makes it possible to get a longer and more stable
plasma jet with higher specific enthalpy than conventional plasma torches. It is now used …

DC arc flash hazard assessment is a mounting concern with the recent development of large-
scale photovoltaic arrays and dc buses. Currently, there are few methods available to model …

The electromagnetic railgun is a new concept weapon with the hypersonic launch capability.
During the railgun launch process, the armature is accelerated along the rails. A complex …
