5. Meshing arc plasma models
In Comsol Multiphysics, an arc plasma model (i.e., a geometric model) is freely triangulated, and the number of grid cells after the freely triangulated division is 9380. The grid division mode is customized by a user, and before grid division, the calculation area is divided into two parts, wherein the unit size of the electrode part is selected as conventional, and the unit size of the arc part is selected as refined; setting electrode boundaries as boundary layer meshes; the number of boundary layers is 8, the boundary layer tension factor is 1.2, the thickness of the first layer is automatically selected, and the thickness adjusting factor is set to be 1.
6. Configure solver and compute
In Comsol multiprophy, the time unit is set to ms, the time step is set to 0.1ms, and the time step is set to 20 ms. The tolerance selection user control, with the relative tolerance set to 0.01, is solved.
It should be noted that after one computation is completed, the settings can be checked and modified if not converged.
7. Result processing and analysis
Selecting a two-dimensional drawing group for the temperature distribution diagram of the arc plasma, selecting 20ms of time, selecting a surface treatment mode, selecting temperature by an expression, and representing and displaying the temperature field of the arc plasma under different current values;
and selecting a one-dimensional drawing group for the axial current density distribution diagram, analyzing the axial current density distribution of the arc plasma with different current values, selecting the time as the last one, selecting BF for the data of the horizontal axis, and selecting a current density mode for the data of the vertical axis.
Example two
In order to study the influence of the current magnitude on the arc plasma characteristics, at least two current values can be set, so that the arc distribution characteristics under different current values can be studied.
In the previous example, except for the current values set to 200A, 150A and 100A, respectively, the rest settings were kept unchanged, and simulation analysis was performed according to steps S201 to S207, and finally temperature profiles of the arc plasma corresponding to different current values and axial current density profiles at different current values were generated, respectively.
Fig. 4, 5, and 6 are temperature profiles of arc plasmas for 200A, 150A, and 100A, respectively. It should be noted that, when the temperature distribution diagram of the arc plasma corresponding to the current value (i.e. fig. 4, 5 and 6) is shown, different colors may be used to represent different temperature levels, for example, the colors such as purple, red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue, blue and dark blue and their gradation colors represent the highest temperature to the lowest temperature, and fig. 4, 5 and 6 show that the colors mainly displayed by diffusing outward with the lower end of the electrode as the center are purple, red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue, blue and dark blue in sequence, wherein the colors except for the dark blue portion constitute "bell jar" and "bell jar".
As can be seen from fig. 4, 5 and 6, the arc temperature distribution as a whole exhibits a "bell-jar" shape, which is consistent with the measurements under the prior art conditions, with the arc having the highest axial temperature and gradually decreasing along the axial temperature. The temperature near the anode is reduced seriously, and the phenomenon of joule heat is obviously reduced. As the current value is continuously decreased, the maximum temperature of the arc plasma is also continuously decreased. The current provides energy for the formation of arc plasma, and the influence of the current on the arc is more remarkable.
Based on fig. 4, 5 and 6, the maximum temperature of the arc was 26800K, 24400K, 20200K, respectively, at currents 200A, 150A, 100A. The maximum temperature of the arc is reduced along with the reduction of the current value, but under different current values, the axial temperature distribution of the arc tends to be consistent, the maximum value appears near the cathode, the temperature gradually decreases in the arc column area, and the steep drop trend appears near the anode. The temperature near the anode is reduced seriously, and the phenomenon of joule heat is obviously reduced. The current provides energy for the formation of arc plasma, and the influence of the current on the arc is more remarkable. (it can be seen from FIG. 7 that the maximum value of the current density at the cathode gradually decreases as the current value decreases.)
Fig. 7 shows the axial current density distribution in the case of different current values, and it can be seen from fig. 7 that the maximum value of the current density at the cathode gradually decreases as the current value decreases. The horizontal axis of fig. 7 represents points on the axis of symmetry BF, and the vertical axis represents current density values corresponding to these points.
According to the two embodiments, the simulation of the arc plasma is realized by utilizing the advantage of multi-physical field coupling of Commol Multiphysics, the characteristic change of the arc plasma under different currents can be conveniently and quickly researched, and meanwhile, the characteristics of the arc plasma under different current values are calculated.
