Abstract
Mathematical model of electromagnetic processes has been refined for the arc burning in plasmatron with an anode wire. Comparative numerical analysis of electric, thermal and gas-dynamic characteristics of the arc plasma has been conducted by using a boundary layer approximation and the refined model of the electromagnetic processes. It is shown that the method of description of the said processes has a substantial effect on calculated distributions of characteristics of the arc plasma generated by the plasmatron under consideration.
