Abstract
A numerical simulation is presented for a thermal plasma reactor with particle-trajectory model in this paper. Turbulance is considered by using simple SGS model. The governing equations are solved by means of the algorithm of SIMPLER. The calculated results give the velocity and the temperature fields within plasma reactor, and the trajectories of the injected particles.
