The transverse size of vortex behind the rib with a relative height of 2 % is twice as big as the obstacle height.

Variations in the gas velocity for transversal cross sections of the arc chamber are in agreement with previously published data for the case of “cold” smoke-based blowout of the two-chamber plasmatorch equipped with a cylindrical electrode.

Experiments in a plasmatorch with an inter-electrode insert demonstrated that the cylinder-and-cone shape of the electrode causes a higher (by 30–35 %) voltage on the plasmatorch as compared with the cylinder-only shape of the electrode.
