A 3 dimensional CFD simulation of a hydrogen plasma process is performed for two different operating pressures. Special attention is given to radiative heat transfer by computing a highly detailed spectral data base for hydrogen. Results show the importance of radiative heat transfer in the concerned plasma technology. A key role of the ceramic protection in this process has also been confirmed.
