Electromagnetic–Computational Fluid Dynamics Couplings in Tungsten Inert Gas Welding Processes—Development of a New Linearization Procedure for the Joule Production Term

Résumé

The finite volume method (FVM) was used to model a tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc welding process. A two-dimensional axisymmetric model of arc plasma integrating fluid–solid coupling was developed by solving electromagnetic and thermal equations in both the gas domain and the solid cathode. In addition, two additional coupling equations were considered in the gaseous domain where the arc is generated. This model also included the actual geometry of torch components such as the gas diffuser, the nozzle, and the electrode. The model was assessed using numerous numerical examples related to the prediction of the argon plasma mass fraction, temperature distribution, velocity fields, pressure, and electric potential in the plasma. A new linearization method was developed for the source term in the energy conservation equation, allowing for the prediction of Joule effects without artificial conductibility. This new method enhances the efficiency of the classical approach used in the literature.
