Numerical investigation into the characteristics of a vortex in an argon inductively coupled plasma

Abstract: A numerical simulation of a technical radio frequency inductively coupled plasma was made with three coils and coupled power in the range of 2-10 kW. The generator frequency varied from 1.76 to 13.56 MHz. The mechanisms of forming a vortex on the upstream side of the discharge and the influences of coupled power, generator frequency and flow rate of central gas on the vortex dimensions were studied. Special attention was paid to investigate two different kinds of vortex flow pattern-Benard and toroidal-as well… Show more

“…The Maxwell's equations are written as in [22] under the assumption of quasi-stationary approximation. Taking into account of the electromagnetic forces, Joule heat, radiation loss and gas-particle interaction, the magneto-hydrodynamic equations for the subsonic multicomponent polydisperse flow could be written as follows [23]:…”

“…The discharge current in the coil is assumed uniformly distributed J coil = 4I coil /πd 2 coil . Since the calculation domain include the inductor coil and plasma regions, as well as the walls and free space regions around the plasma and inductor coil [29], the specific forms of equation ( 2) in those regions would be written as follows:…”
