A mathematical model for predicting the flow field of thermal plasma turbulent jet is presented. The model is based upon two-equation k-ε model of turbulence. Radiation of gases, as well as thermal dissociation of diatomic molecules are taking in account by separate model assumptions. In order to test the performances of the model, some experiments on air-nitrogen jet has been provided. Good agreement between results predicted by the model and the experiments, gives significant support to model assumptions correctness
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
