Simulation of a Free Burning Argon Arc

Application ID: 129201


This example investigates the electrical and thermal characteristics of a welding argon arc created in a point-to-plane configuration. The discharge is assumed to be in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The electric arc is considered a conductive fluid medium and is modeled using a magnetohydrodynamics approach. This model shows how to use the Arc Discharge multiphysics interface to simulate an DC arc. The simulated arc temperature is in good agreement with the experiments published in the literature.
