This article presents a new approach and preliminary modeling results of the temperature field nonuniformity reduction by using a multitorch radio frequency (RF) plasma system. This is also a way to achieve technical and economic feasibility for plasma systems with plume power over 200 kW, significantly reducing the development and production cycle. The mixing of plasma jets was numerically simulated by solving a system of equations, describing high-temperature turbulent plasma flows. The data obtained could be used for engineering of high-power plasma systems, including the ones for testing high-temperature thermal protection materials, waste to power, syntheses of new materials, and so on.
