Abstract :
The paper presents the mathematical model of the coupling between electric field and thermal field in plasma generator. The equations of momentum, composition and energy are taken into consideration. An algorithm of numerical solutions of nonequilibrium plasma equations is presented. This algorithm is used for the simulation of stationary plasma jet in the divergent nozzles. In the paper the results of calculation of thermal field in argon plasma generator are presented
