Increasing prediction accuracy of plasma arc properties by considering current density deduced from measured cathode region

To accurately simulate the plasma arc (PA) behavior in a wide current range, a steady two-dimensional model for the numerical calculation of the axisymmetric PA considering the high temperature cathode region (HTCR) was proposed. Based on the experimentally measured HTCR area, two distribution forms...
