Abstract :
Laminar DC plasma jets are attractive for precisely controlled plasma-material processing. The design of a novel nontransferred plasma torch enabled the switching between turbulent and laminar plasma flows by simply changing the plasma generation parameters. Images of the plasma flows generated at different conditions are presented.
