“…The given technique undoubtedly reflects qualitatively correctly the physics of the process, however, it possibly needs a refinement in the quantitative respect, which needs separate research. An inaccurate information about thermophysical properties and transfer coefficients of the arc plasma (mainly the viscosity coefficient [7]) and the anode material, including too a small value of ∂Г/∂Т of the temperature gradient of the surface tension coefficient of the melt may be another reason for the discrepancy of the results. It is, besides, possible that the computed value of the plasma radial velocity component near the melt surface is too high and, as a consequence, too a high momentum transfer from the plasma flow to the melt.…”
