T1 NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF A CUTTING AIR PLASMA TORCH AND COMPARISON WITH SPECTROSCOPY MEASUREMENTS JF High Temperature Material Processes: An International Quarterly of High-Technology Plasma Processes JO HTM YR 2011 FD 2012-03-20 VO 15 IS 1 SP 23 OP 29 K1 arc cutting K1 numerical simulation K1 emission spectroscopy K1 temperature distributions K1 plasma fluctuations AB This paper presents a comparison between theoretical and experimental studies in a cutting plasma torch. Calculations were made with a laminar compressible model with supersonic flows. By using visible spectroscopy we measured densities and temperatures from time integrated luminosities that were corrected from the effect of plasma fluctuations.
