Abstract

Numerical simulation of a longitudinally blown electric arc by two-dimensional gas-dynamic equations made it possible to determine temperature and velocity fields, axial and radial components of convective, conductive and radiative heat fluxes, heat losses through a channel wall. The model takes into account radiation transfer in the actual spectrum of an electric-arc plasma. Using the results of calculations for argon and air, approximation expressions are obtained for the temperature dependences of the divergences of radiation fluxes.
