Role of the Diffusion Current in Nonequilibrium Modeling of Welding Arcs

M. Baeva[1]
[1]INP Greifswald e.V., Greifswald, Germany

2D self-consistent nonequilibrium model of a free-burning arc in argon has been developed. The model is based on the COMSOL Multiphysics® platform and describes in a self-consistent manner the fluid dynamics, the heat transfer, the magneto-electrodynamics, and species conservation. The ...

Traveling Plasma Wave Levitation of Objects Supported by Coanda Effect

R. Eisenschmid[1]
[1]OPTIMA pharma GmbH, Schwäbisch Hall, Germany

Electrostatically excited plasma waves can induce a “plasma wind” in the surrounding media or air. The lifted object has a shape of a flying saucer, just for better illustration. A travelling plasma wave propulsion requires a pre-ionized media around the surface and a travelling ... Read More

Numerical Modelling of the Plasma Discharge During Electron Beam Welding (EBW)

D. Trushnikov[1], G. Mladenov[2]
[1]Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Perm, Russia
[2]Institute of Electronics of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria

This work describes a model for plasma formation in the keyhole and above the EBW zone. The parameters of the plasma are closely connected to the characteristics of the thermal action of the electron beam on the welded metal, which allows operational control and study of EBW. The ... Read More

Two-dimensional Fluid Simulation of an RF Capacitively Coupled Ar/H2 Discharge

L. Tong[1]
[1]Keisoku Engineering System Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan

Ar/H2 discharges are frequently used in various industrial applications, such as etching processes, surface treatment, and film deposition. In the discharges, the active species, such as ions and hydrogen atoms, are responsible for surface reactions, which could be considered as the ... Read More

Prediction of Temperature and Thermal Stress in Plasma Sprayed Coatings

M. Raja[1] , G. Hiremath[1], K. Ramachandran[1], P.V.A. Padmanabhan[2], T.K. Thiyagarajan[2]
[1]Karunya University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India
[2]Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Plasma spraying is one of the prominent technologies for wear, corrosion and high temperature resistant coatings. The coating quality is very important to increase the performance of the components as well as to protect the outer surface of the component from external environment. The ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics® Simulations of Graphene Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Growth

K. M. Al-Shurman[1], H. Naseem[1]
[1]The Institute for Nanoscience & Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, USA

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a promising effective method for synthesis of graphene films. CVD graphene film is obtained from hydrocarbon species such as CH4 through complex catalytic chemical reactions on the surface of the catalyst. Therefore, studying the catalytic reaction ... Read More

Surface Plasmon Resonance Dependence on Size in Metallic Nano-Spheres

K. Kluczyk[1], W. Jacak[1]
[1]Institute of Physics, Wrocław University of Technology, Wrocław, Poland

Surface plasmon resonance in metallic nanoparticles is highly and shape dependent, which enables varius applications in photovoltaics, photonics, sensing and even medicine. Particularly we observe redshift in plasmon resonance with increasing nanoparticle size. We investigate ... Read More

Finite Element Method Plasma Simulation of Nitrogen Contaminated Ceramic Metal Halide Lamps

P. Juhász[1], S. Beleznai[1], I. Maros[1]
[1]Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary

The ceramic metal halide lamps belong to the most efficient high intensity light sources of these days. Presently it is the nitrogen contamination that causes the most significant problems during ignition. If this material gets into the lamp's interior in high concentrations, it will ... Read More

Prediction of Magnetic Fields, Eddy Currents, and Loads in a Tokamak During a Disruption for Alcator C-Mod's Advanced Outer Divertor

J. Doody[1], B. Lipschultz[2], R. Granetz[1], W. Beck[1], L. Zhou[1], J. Irby[1]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Plasma Science and Fusion Center, Cambridge, MA, USA
[2]York Plasma Institute, University of York, Heslington, York, UK

COMSOL Multiphysics® has been used to predict the magnetic fields, eddy current, lorenz forces and stresses during a disruption for the new Advanced Outer Divertor for the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. A tokamak is used to study magnetic confinement of plasma for fusion, and a disruption ... Read More

Structural Optimization of the AISHa Ion Source

F. Noto[1], M. Piscopo[1], L. Celona[1], D. Cittadino[1], S. Gammino[1], G. Cuttone[1], G. Gallo[1], G. Schillaci[1], C. Campisano[2], L. Lo Nigro[3], G. Costa[3], A. Campisano[4]
