VizSpark™ is a robust, industrial simulation tool for high-fidelity modeling of thermal (arc) plasmas. As part of the OverViz Simulation Suite, it can be fully coupled with electromagnetic and fluid flow models to provide solutions to a wide range of complex multiphysics problems. VizSpark™ is fully parallelized and can be used to perform large, 3D simulations with complex geometries. Its robust solvers and scalability make it ideal for solving real world engineering problems.
Features:
- 1D, 2D (planar / axisymmetric) and 3D problems
- Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE) with special treatment of non-LTE at boundaries
- Automatic generation of plasma properties
- Coupling to electromagnetics (arc induced fields and external fields)
- Coupling to incompressible and compressible fluid-flow (natural convection, shocks, etc.)
- Conjugate heat transfer with arc and solid domains
- Material ablation models
- Moving body dynamics
- Parallel computing
Applications:
- Free-burning arcs
- Wall-stabilized arcs
- Ablation controlled arcs
- Arcs in imposed and self-induced flows
- Magnetized arcs
- Arcs with electrode erosion
Industries Served:
- Lighting manufacturers (HID, arc lamps)
- Heavy manufacturing (welding, cutting)
- Automotive ignition manufacturers (spark plugs,etc.)
- Space propulsion (Arcjets, MPD, etc.)
- Coating (powder spray coating, etc.
