Abstract:Numerical modelling was performed for ablation processing of a solid particle in a thermal plasma flow. The model is based on Constrained Interpolation Propagation -Combined and Unified Procedure (CIP-CUP) method, which can simulate incompressible and compressible flows and then the multiphase flow. Furthermore, the volume of fraction (VOF) function was introduced to track the surface of the solid during ablation. Using that developed model, the ablation process of a polyethylene particle was simulated in a th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
