Abstract

By means of magneto hydrodynamic modelling based on magnetic vector potential and UDF programming, a numerical simulation is conducted for the heat transfer and flow process in the free-burning arc, which enables the coupling calculation of flow field and electromagnetic field. In consideration of the catholic tip melting and the copper vapor generated by anodic copper sheet evaporation during the arc burning process, the interaction between arc and vapor is analyzed and the influence of electrode melting on the flow and heat transfer of plasma arc is therefore fully understood, making the calculation model better represent the actual situation.
