Özet

The slurry is defined as a suspension of solids in a liquid, and the plasma is one of the fundamental states of matter that contains charged particles such as ions and electrons. However, the plasma can be assumed as a suspension of charged particles in a fluidal mixture, and in this way, the plasma medium can be regarded as a slurry medium. This is the starting point of our novel and conceptual interdisciplinary modeling approach. Some physical quantities and constants are derived for the slurry transport such as Reynolds number (Re), Froude number (F), hydraulic gradient (im), limit deposit velocity (LDV), etc. that can also be used in the physical explanation, comments, and modeling of the plasma jets. In this way, some open problems may be solved such as the determination of the physical background of changes in the plasma jet length and the regional distribution of reactional species.
