Magnetic control of homogeneous and dust-laden plasma jets

Abstract

Magnetic control of plasma is considered to be one of the most effective method to utilize functions of plasma in the industrial applications. The objective of the present paper is to present the numerical modelings for homogeneous and dust-laden plasma jets in the applied magnetic field. The first model is for DC magnetic control of homogeneous plasma jet using three-fluid model. The second one is for RF inductive electromagnetic control of dust-laden plasma jet for turbulent or supersonic flow using Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches. Finally, future research to be considered is discussed in the numerical modeling for complex plasma jet under the electromagnetic field. © 1999 IUPAC.
