Abstract

The pattern of gas (argon) flow and heating in a diaphragmed plasmatron channel is calculated within the framework of an equilibrium magnetogasdynamic model, depending on the diaphragm position and hole size and on the gas flow rate and twist momentum. Special features of the arc characteristics in a channel of variable cross section are established for streams with and without twist.
