Volumetric Velocimetry and Accelerometry of Injected Particles in Thermal Plasma Jet
Šonský, Jiří
Measurements of the injected particles velocities and accelerations in the plasma jet are important for thermal plasma spraying technology improvement. Commonly used methods of optical diagnostic, such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) or particle tracking velocimetry and accelerometry (PTVA),are complicated due to strong optical self-emission of the plasma jet. We have developed 3-D variant of the PTVA, able to measure particle velocities and accelerations in hot core of the thermal plasma jet, as well as in surrouding areas, such as entrance of particle flow into the plasma jet.
Prostorové rozložení oscilací v modulovaném proudu plazmatu
Gruber, Jan ; Šonský, Jiří
Electric current in a vertically oriented DC plasma torch was modulated with frequencies varying in the range 15 Hz ? 7.5 kHz. Resulting plasma jet optical radiation was recorded by the high-speed CCD camera. The length of the record and the time resolution were sufficient for the application of the FFT yielding a detailed view of the oscillation phenomena in the plasma flow. Significant oscillations were identified and their distributions in the jet plane examined. In this work we show influence of current modulation on the dominant frequencies of oscillations and their spatial distributions.
