    Аннотация Abstract—A novel, self-consistent model for analyzing the electromagnetic and heat-mass transfer phenomena within a conducting gas has been developed. This model, although based on well- established Maxwell's and Navier–Stokes equations, is tailored for technological powder processing plasma system. The gas is treated as compressible, and its electrical conductivity, as well as radiative losses of hot plasma, are dependent on local temperature. Maxwell's equations are reformulated into a frequency domain equation using complex values of the magnetic vector potential. This equation is further split into real and imaginary parts, resulting in a system of coupled equations, which are discretized and solved in the ANSYS Fluent using the finite volume method through the user-defined scalar and user-defined functions application programming interface in C. This model operates allows for the calculation of temporal-spatial distributions of electromagnetic fields, temperature and velocity of gas flow with particles within the torch and cooling chamber. Simulation results firstly have revealed unwanted gas-driven effects, particularly in the form of vortices downstream of the plasma tail flame. These vortices negatively impact the predictability of particle synthesis and may trap particles, preventing them from following the desired temperature history. Given the primary application of plasmatron systems in the production and processing of metal powder materials for additive manufacturing, the goal is to optimize the cooling chamber's design. This aims to promote laminar gas flow inside the chamber and prevent particle deposition on its walls, thereby minimizing material losses. The calculations performed using this developed model enable the identification of adverse gas dynamic effects during particle synthesis. Based on a series of calculations, new design solutions have been proposed to mitigate these adverse effects. This work encompasses two approaches to shape optimization: automatic adjoint-based optimization and semi-automatic optimization. By combining these methodologies, a substantial enhancement of the cooling chamber design has been achieved, reducing vortices near the chamber walls by up to 80%. This improvement results in a more laminar tail flame, enhancing the predictability and precision of powder processing.
