Numerical modeling of a cutting torch

A two-dimensional turbulent model of a low-current intensity (30 A) cutting plasma torch was developed using the local thermodynamic equilibrium approximation. A good agreement was found between measured and modelled results of plasma temperature and velocity, the latter of which has not been previo...
