As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for simulation analysis of arc plasma, which mainly includes the following steps:
step S201, establishing a geometric model of the arc plasma, and performing mesh division on the geometric model.
The geometric model was used to simulate the arc plasma portion and is a reference geometric model as shown in fig. 4, where DC is the working GAs inlet, GF is the cathode, AB is the anode, CB is the pressure outlet, and GA length is the arc length. The geometric model is the computational domain of the simulation analysis. The mesh division is to divide the calculation area into quadrilateral meshes.

The method for simulating and analyzing the arc plasma can be realized based on Fluent, which is a relatively popular commercial CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software package in the world at present, and can be used in all industries related to fluid, heat transfer, chemical reaction and the like. The method has rich physical models, advanced numerical methods and powerful pre-and post-processing functions, and is widely applied to the aspects of aerospace, automobile design, petroleum and natural gas, turbine design and the like. ICEM is grid division software marked and matched by Fluent, and the ICEM can establish a geometric model and import the geometric model into Fluent, and the imported geometric model is set in Fluent to obtain a mathematical model. Structured grids, also known as grids, refer to regions in which all grid points have the same degree. The structured grid has the advantages of high generation speed, simple storage structure, a plurality of optimization measures and good method for dividing the structured grid for objects with simple shapes.
The preset lattice number can be set according to actual conditions. It should be noted that the mesh quality not only affects the calculation accuracy, but also affects the convergence process. Although more grids are more favorable for convergence, the calculation speed is influenced, so that more grids are better, and a proper grid value is required, so that the calculation speed and the convergence can be guaranteed. As a preferred embodiment, the total number of grids is controlled to be ten thousand, that is, the preset number of grids is ten thousand.
Step S202, activating a viscous model label for the geometric model and setting the viscous model label as laminar flow, activating an energy equation label, calling UDF to add a joule heat item, an electronic enthalpy transport item and a plasma radiation heat loss item into an energy conservation equation and add Lorentz force into a momentum conservation equation in a source item form, and calling a UDS to add a current continuity equation.
UDS is a user-defined scalar, UDF is a user-defined function, and the steps add contents such as user settings and the like by calling the UDF and the UDS.
In Fluent, the viscous model is set to laminar flow, and the continuity equation and the momentum conservation equation are solved by default. The energy conservation equation may be used after the energy equation label is activated. After the current continuity equation is added, the current continuity equation, the ampere-circulation law and the ohm law form a Maxwell equation set for subsequent use.

And S203, setting working medium gas for the geometric model, and calling UDF to add physical parameters of the working medium gas into a control equation.
The model is in a non-vacuum condition, a specific working medium gas can be set to be matched with the viscous model for flow simulation, and parameters of the corresponding working medium gas can be added into a control equation through UDF. The governing equations include a continuity equation, the conservation of momentum equation, the conservation of energy equation, and a maxwell system of equations.
In the embodiment of the present invention, step S203 may be implemented in the following manner: working medium gas in the geometric model is set to be argon in Fluent, and UDF is called to add density, specific heat, thermal conductivity, viscosity and electrical conductivity of the argon to a control equation.
In a preferred embodiment, argon gas may be selected as the working gas. The density, specific heat, thermal conductivity, viscosity and electrical conductivity of the working medium gas can be set as a piecewise function.
And step S204, setting boundary conditions for the geometric model, and setting at least two inlet speeds.
This step may set corresponding parameters according to the model and its boundaries. Meanwhile, in order to research the influence of different inlet speeds on the arc plasma characteristics, at least two inlet speeds can be set, so that the arc distribution characteristics under different inlet speeds are researched. The inlet velocity refers to the velocity of the working fluid gas entering.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of setting the boundary condition for the geometric model may be implemented by the following method: and arranging a symmetry axis, a cathode, an anode, a working medium gas inlet, a pressure outlet and corresponding simulation conditions for the geometric model in the Fluent.
The geometric model is an axisymmetric figure. In a preferred embodiment, the cathode is provided with no slip wall surface and the temperature is 3500K; the anode is set to have no sliding wall surface and the temperature is 1800K; the temperature of the working medium gas inlet is set to be 1000K; the temperature of the pressure outlet was set to 1000K; the other sides of the geometric model are set as non-slip wall surfaces and the temperature is 1000K. It is to be noted that the other sides refer to sides other than the axis of symmetry, the cathode, the anode, the working fluid gas inlet and the pressure outlet, such as DE and EF in fig. 4.
And S205, configuring a solver, and enabling the solver to be dynamically connected with a control equation.
The solver is a solver provided by Fluent, and can be configured based on requirements.
There are two solvers provided by Fluent, corresponding to different numerical methods, including a pressure-based solver and a density-based solver. As a preferred embodiment, a pressure-based solver (i.e., a pressure-based solver) is selected. The calculation rule adopted by the pressure-based solver belongs to a projection method in the conventional sense. In the projection method, firstly, a velocity field is solved through a momentum equation, and then the velocity field meets a continuity condition through the correction of a pressure equation. The pressure equation is derived from a fluid mechanics continuity equation and a momentum equation, so that the simulation result of the whole flow field can meet the requirements of mass conservation and momentum conservation at the same time. Due to the nonlinear and intercoupling effects of the governing equations (momentum and pressure equations), an iterative process is required to solve the governing equations repeatedly until the results converge, and the pressure and momentum equations are solved in this way.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of configuring the solver may be implemented in the following manner: selecting a pressure base solver from Fluent; setting a pressure-based solver as a steady state solution, selecting a SIMPLE algorithm (a semi-implicit method of a pressure coupling equation set) by a solution method, selecting a least square difference value based on a unit body by gradient interpolation, and dispersing other variables by adopting a second-order windward format; adjusting a relaxation factor of the pressure-based solver; setting residual errors of a continuity equation, an x-direction speed, a y-direction speed, an energy conservation equation and uds-0, and setting dynamic residual errors to be displayed in the calculation process. It should be noted that fluent automatically identifies coordinate axes and converts to x and y coordinate systems by default.
Wherein the remaining variables refer to variables other than gradient interpolation. Due to the non-linear equations required in fluid mechanics, the change in the control variable during the solution is necessary, which is accomplished by the relaxation factor, which controls the change in the variable at each iteration. That is, the new value of the variable is the original value plus the delta times the relaxation factor. The relaxation factor has a large relationship with convergence, and if the case is to be converged better, the relaxation factor needs to be reduced. Wherein the relaxation factors include pressure factor, density factor, volume force factor, momentum factor, energy factor and uds-0 factor.
In the embodiment of the present invention, before step S206, the following steps may be further implemented: and setting the initial flow field temperature, the initial current density and the iteration step number.
Wherein, the initial flow field temperature is the initial temperature of the working medium gas. As a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the conductivity of the argon gas and make it have a better conductivity temperature, the initial flow field temperature may be set to 8000K. The initial current density may be set at 1.5 x 10-8 A/m2
In addition, both the initial flow field temperature and the initial current density may be added by UDF. And, an axial current density component and a radial current density component may be derived based on the initial current density. The initial current density and the initial flow field temperature are set initial values, and the current density and the flow field temperature are changed along with calculation.
And S206, solving and calculating the simulation data corresponding to each inlet speed by a solver to obtain a simulation result of each inlet speed.
The simulation environment is set through steps S201 to S205, and in the same simulation environment, with the progress of the experiment, the generated arc distribution characteristics are different at different inlet speeds, that is, different inlet speeds may obtain different simulation data, and the simulation data at each inlet speed is separately solved and calculated, and the obtained calculation result is the corresponding simulation result. The solver of Fluent can use a continuity equation, a momentum conservation equation, an energy conservation equation and a Maxwell equation set to solve and calculate the simulation data of different inlet speeds.
In the embodiment of the present invention, step S206 may be implemented in the following manner: the solver carries out iterative computation on the data of each inlet speed based on the initial flow field temperature, the initial current density, the iteration step number, the continuity equation, the momentum conservation equation, the energy conservation equation and the Maxwell equation set to obtain the simulation result of each inlet speed; and saving the simulation result into a case file and a data file, and outputting data in a text format.
The solution calculation is an iterative calculation process. The Fluent pressure-based solver starts solving and calculating based on the setting of the previous steps, and at this time, the pressure-based solver can calculate according to its own logic, and the calculation process may be: calculating the conductivity according to the initial flow field temperature, and obtaining potential distribution based on the conductivity; calculating current density in each direction according to the potential and the conductivity; and (4) taking the current density as a source term of an energy conservation equation, and calculating the temperature field again with the obtained speed field. The above is an iterative process, and the step needs to be repeated circularly, i.e. the finally calculated temperature field is used as the initial flow field temperature again until the calculation is finished.
Case files are used for making digital media files, data files are backup class files for data saving, and the text format can be selected from a variety of formats including ASCII (american standard code for information interchange) and Excel (table). As a preferred embodiment, the simulation results may output the required temperature data and current density data in ASCII format.
And step S207, processing the simulation result to generate an arc temperature distribution diagram and an arc central axis speed distribution diagram corresponding to different inlet speeds.
Origin software is professional function drawing software, and can meet the drawing requirements of general users and the requirements of high-level user data analysis and function fitting. This step can utilize Origin software to post-process the data output from the previous step to ultimately generate an arc temperature profile (e.g., fig. 5, 6, and 7) and an arc center axis velocity profile (e.g., fig. 8). The arc temperature distribution diagram is used for displaying the influence of different inlet speeds on the arc temperature distribution, and the arc central axis speed distribution diagram is used for displaying the speed distribution of different inlet speeds on the arc central axis.
The present invention will be further described by way of examples in order to facilitate a more complete, accurate and thorough understanding of the concepts and solutions of the present invention and to facilitate its implementation by those skilled in the art, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

The GA is used as the axis in solving the calculation.
2. Mesh partitioning
And (4) carrying out grid division on the calculation area established in the last step, wherein the grid can be a quadrilateral grid. It should be noted that the mesh quality not only affects the calculation accuracy, but also affects the convergence process. Although more grids are more favorable for convergence, the calculation speed is influenced, so that more grids are better, and a proper grid value is required, so that the calculation speed and the convergence can be guaranteed. Here, taking ten thousand as an example of the preset number of grids, the total number of grids is controlled within 10000.
3. Selecting a suitable model

It is to be noted that the current density set here is an initial current density added by UDF, which is an initial value of the setting, andthe current density is varied and an axial current density component and a radial current density component are further derived based on the initial current density.
7. Formulating solution method
Selecting a pressure base solver in Fluent, setting steady state solution, selecting a SIMPLE algorithm by a solution method, selecting a least square difference value based on a unit body by gradient interpolation, and dispersing other variables by adopting a second-order windward format. Meanwhile, the relaxation factor in Solution Controls is adjusted in Fluent, the relaxation factor has a great relationship with convergence, and if the case is better converged, the relaxation factor needs to be reduced. In this example, the pressure factor may be set to 0.3, the density factor to 1, the volume force factor to 1, the momentum factor to 0.7, the energy factor to 0.3, the UDS-0 factor to 1 (UDS-0 is the relaxation factor set for UDS, only the UDS-0 factor since UDS is used only once). And setting the residual in the Monitor of Fluent, setting the energy conservation equation residual to 10-7The residual of the remaining equations is set to 10-4. In addition, the method can also be set to display the dynamic residual error in the calculation process so as to display the dynamic residual error in the calculation process, and the setting mode is as follows: click on the Solve button, monitor option, Residual option, in turn, and select Plot in Options.
8. Initialization calculation
A standard Initialization is selected in the Fluent to initialize, and then the number of iteration steps is set. In order to ensure the conductivity of the argon, the initial flow field temperature is set to be 8000K, so that the argon has a better conductivity temperature.
9. Solving for
The Fluent pressure-based solver starts solving and calculating based on the setting of the previous steps, and at this time, the pressure-based solver can calculate according to its own logic, and the calculation process may be: calculating the conductivity according to the initial flow field temperature so as to obtain the potential distribution in the iteration; and calculating to obtain current density in each direction according to the potential and the conductivity, taking the current density as a source term of an energy conservation equation, and calculating a temperature field again according to the obtained speed field. This completes an iterative process, and then the loop repeats (the number of loops equals the number of iteration steps) until the computation ends (i.e., converges).
10. Outputting results and post-processing
And obtaining a simulation result of each inlet speed after the solving and calculating in the last step are completed, exporting the simulation result to a file with suffixes of 'case' and 'data', simultaneously outputting required temperature data and current density data in an ASCII format, and finally utilizing Origin software to post-process the output file.
Example two
To study the effect of different inlet velocities on arc plasma characteristics, at least two inlet velocities can be set to study the arc profile characteristics at different inlet velocities.
In the previous example, the settings were kept unchanged except for the inlet velocities set at 5m/S, 10m/S and 15m/S, respectively, and simulation analysis was performed according to steps S201 to S210 to finally generate arc temperature profiles and arc center axis velocity profiles corresponding to the different inlet velocities.
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 are graphs of arc temperature profiles at 5m/s, 10m/s and 15m/s, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 5, 6 and 7, the arc temperature distribution is overall "bell-shaped". The arc temperature shows a downward trend along the axial direction, and the temperature is highest on the central axis in the radial direction and gradually decreases towards two sides along the radial direction. Meanwhile, the temperature near the anode is reduced seriously, the Joule heating effect is obviously reduced, the electromagnetic contraction force near the cathode is larger, and the arc is more convergent.
Fig. 8 shows the velocity at each point in the x direction from point G to point a when the velocity on the line of the axis of symmetry GA, i.e., r =0, is reflected. Since only the inlet velocity is set and applied from the gas inlet DC, the velocity varies along the axis due to the influence of the electromagnetic force.
