High Temperature Aims and scope

Abstract

The distribution of temperature and pressure, electromagnetic fields, and the structure of flow under the effect of an external transverse magnetic field are determined using a three-dimensional magnetogasdynamic model of a steady-state curved arc. The calculation results are consistent with the experimentally observed properties of the arc, such as stabilizing effect of current strength and the magnetogasdynamic mechanism of arc extinction.
