Abstract :
A numerical FLUENT-based model has been developed for the three-dimensional and time-dependent simulation of a magnetically deflected transferred arc. Results are presented for a case in which an argon arc is deflected with a 150-A current flowing in a wire parallel to the axis of the arc.
