Abstract
A hydrodynamic model for electrical arc modelling is presented. The model, which takes into account Joule heating, radiation, Laplace forces, arc-wall interactions and real gas effect, has been validated through comparisons with measurements. Industrial applications have already been computed and concern high, medium and low voltage circuit breakers
