2-D axially symmetric hydrodynamic model has been developed to describe the formation of
a crater and liquid-metal jets on a vacuum arc cathode using Navier-Stokes equations for an …

Abstract A two-dimensional (2D) rotary axisymmetric model has been developed to describe
the formation and development of cathode spot in vacuum arc. The model includes …

A semiempirical hydrodynamic model based on the cellular structure of the cathode spot
(CS) of a vacuum arc has been developed to describe the formation of a microcrater on the …

Droplet impingement is a widespread phenomenon in nature and industrial production.
Different from the problem of light drop/wall impact, which has been investigated early and …

We consider the displacement of molten metal from a crater being formed on the cathode
during the operation of a vacuum arc under the pressure of the cathode plasma and …

Motion of catalytic micro/nano-motors with various geometries is mainly determined by the
drag force and the propulsion force acting on the motors as they move in low Reynolds …

The formation of microjets is studied during the extrusion of a melted metal by the plasma
pressure from craters formed on a cathode in a burning vacuum arc. An analytic model of …

The influence of interface temperature on the damage characteristics of C–Cu contacts'
interface plays a critical role in the current-carrying friction process which occurs between …

The cathode spot behavior influences the arc plasma chemistry and film growth conditions
during reactive cathodic arc deposition of nitride and oxide films. Cathode spots can be …

Microparticles are an inevitable component of vacuum arcs. This paper focused on the
dynamics of microparticle and erosion behavior in high-current vacuum arcs. The arc was …
