Problems of physical modeling of electric-arc discharges

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Special features of physical modeling of high-current arc discharges are considered. It is shown that the employment of dimensionless criterial expressions makes it possible to establish only approximate similarity of characteristics for some specific apparatuses which govern arc-discharge conditions. Procedures to select the dominant energy-exchange processes and to find the scale values of plasma properties are presented, whose knowledge permits modeling of the discharges initiated in various media.
