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

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 additio...
