dc.description.abstractA widely used approach to simulation of high-pressure arc discharges is based on the system of magneto-hydrodynamic equations written in the approximation of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). In this work, boundary conditions on the surface of the electrodes are formulated with the use of equations of balance of energy in the non-equilibrium near electrode layers that separate the LTE bulk plasma and the electrodes. As an example, numerical simulations of a free-burning arc in atmospheric-pressure argon plasma in the current range from 20 to 200 A are reported. Simulation results are in reasonably good agreement with those given by more sophisticated models and with the experiment. Simulations performed for cathodes of slightly different geometries have predicted a strong effect produced by details of the cathode geometry over the distribution of the current density along the cathode surface and therefore over the plasma temperature, an interesting and potentially important result that is worth further numerical investigation and experimental verification.pt_PT
