A stationary, one-dimensional fluid model is presented to describe the interelectrode region
of a nonfiltered vacuum arc operated with a background gas. The model includes the …

Vacuum arc plasma jet (VAPJ) propagation in a neutral nitrogen atmosphere has been
calculated numerically on the basis of a hydrodynamic description. It was assumed that the …

A numerical solution for the metallic-plasma-neutral-gas structure generated in a low-
pressure arc is presented. The equations correspond to a spherically symmetric fluid-like …

A theoretical study of the ion density profiles resulting from the interaction between metallic
plasma ejected from cathode spots and background neutral gas is presented. The model …

A plasma beam formed by a stationary vacuum arc source with a copper cathode is
considered as a supersonic hydrodynamic jet interacting by collisions with a neutral …

Ion current and electron temperature are measured using electrostatic probes in a dc,
nonfiltered vacuum arc operated with argon and nitrogen as filling gases in the pressure …

A simplified two-dimensional model which describes the inter-electrode region of a non-
filtered vacuum arc with a cylindrical geometry is developed. The model includes elastic …

The interaction of a vacuum arc plasma jet (VAPJ) with the neutral atmosphere filling the
plasma duct in a vacuum arc plasma coating system was modelled. The VAPJ velocity, ion …

The plasma-neutral gas structure generated in a magnesium cathodic arc operated with
oxygen gas at a constant current of 50 A has been investigated by employing a simplified …

The ion kinetic energy and ion density was determined for the plasma generated in the outer
region of the arc channel in a pulsed low-pressure cathodic arc. The device was operated …
