Computational Analysis of Flow Separation in Non-Transferred Plasma Torch: Causes, Impacts and Control Methods

In a non-transferred plasma torch, the working gas becomes ionized and forms plasma as it interacts with the electric arc at the cathode tip. However, in certain cathode shapes, particularly flat ones, and under specific conditions, the gas flow can separate at the cathode tip, forming a vortex regi...
