Abstract: | A model is proposed for the laminar flow of a conducting gas in the channel of a conical plasmatron (plasma source) and in the surrounding motionless medium. The boundary-layer approximation equations are written taking the intrinsic magnetic fields into account. The flow of an argon plasma in argon and air is analyzed numerically.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 190–193, September–October, 1975. |
