The paper generalizes to the three-dimensional case the previously proposed two-dimensional mathematical model of the motion of a plasma formation in a constant transverse magnetic field. The complete system of single-fluid magnetogasdynamic approximation of the equations of the hydrodynamic method for plasma description under conditions of local thermodynamic equilibrium is simplified in the electromagnetic part. Instead of solving the complete system of Maxwell’s equations, Ohm’s integral law is applied to the conducting region with usage of empirical data. Earlier studies in a two-dimensional version of this model as applied to the problem of describing the motion of an arc showed its effectiveness and efficiency for the class of problems under consideration. The simulation results with proposed extended model are compared with previously obtained calculated and experimental data. Main integral and local features of flow structure are highlighted.
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.
