- ItemComparative studies of low-intensity short-length arcs(Praha : Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Physics, 2019) Baeva, M.; Siewert, E.; Uhrlandt, D.We present results obtained by two non-equilibrium modelling approaches and experiments on low-intensity short-length arcs in argon at atmospheric pressure. The first one considers a quasi-neutral arc column combined with boundary conditions on the electrodes based on the energy balance in the space-charge sheaths. The second approach applies a unified description over the entire gap and solves the Poisson equation for the self-consistent electric field. The experiments provide the arc voltage.
- ItemAdvanced Nonequilibrium Modelling of DC Tungsten-Inert Gas Arcs(Praha : Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Physics, 2017) Baeva, M.; Uhrlandt, D.The paper is concerned with the state-of-the-art nonequilibrium modelling of a DC tungsten-inert gas arc plasma. The advanced description involves the two-way interaction between the plasma and the electrodes. Results in atmospheric pressure argon demonstrating important features of the arc plasma are presented and discussed. First results in the presence of metal vapour released from the molten anode are presented. Outlook for further developments in nonequilibrium arc modelling are discussed.
