- Abstract
- This paper presents a two-temperature model for compressible plasma flows. This study concentrates on the behaviour of the plasma jet in the expansion region. The conditions used correspond to the conditions of low-pressure plasma spraying, with slightly supersonic conditions with thermal and chemical non-equilibrium. The flow dynamics results are analysed with different turbulence models and appear to be consistent with results previously published by the authors [3] on the dynamics of low-temperature air jets and favour the Reynolds stress turbulence model. Chemical as well as thermal non-equilibrium are studied.
