The aim of this work is to investigate by means of a 2-D FLUENT© based numeri-cal model the behaviour of different types of transferred arc dual gas plasma torches used for metallic materials cutting, putting into evidence the physical reasons for the industrial success of various design and process solutions appeared over the last years. Simulations include a prediction of the thermal behaviour of the solid components of the torch head. Simulations of one of the plasma torches considered are also compared with experimental measurements.
