Abstract

A comparison is made of the performance of two different algorithms used for the computation of the flow and temperature fields in an inductively coupled plasma. The first algorithm is based on the solutions of the two-dimensional continuity, momentum, and energy equations in terms of vorticity, stream function, and enthalpy. The second one is based on the solution of the same equations in terms of the velocity, pressure, and enthalpy. The results show that the formulation of the mathematical model and the chosen numerical technique can substantially influence the stability and the convergence of the solution.
