In the present study, the flattening and simultaneous solidification of a liquid droplet upon its impingement onto a solid surface has been numerically simulated and an extensive set of results has been generated to represent ...

and low Stefan numbers. We found a good agreement betweenour results and the available data.

Conclusions: The simultaneous solidification has an important effect on the impingement process in plasma spraying such that the two phenomena...

The effect of substrate characteristics on the formation of plasma-sprayed alumina splats was studied using both experiments and numerical simulation. Knowledge of the particle and substrate conditions is critical in understanding coating formation...

In this paper a complete model of a DC Plasma Spraying system is presented. The model consists of three parts: a) Calculation of the flow and the temperature field in the plasma. The plasma system uses a shrouding gas. A boundary fitted coordinate...

The paper describes recent developments in modeling formation of plasma spray coatings. Specific attention is paid to the three-dimensional simulation of droplet impact and solidification under plasma spraying conditions. It is shown that the extent...

The spreading and simultaneous solidification of a liquid droplet upon its impingement onto a substrate permitting thermal contact resistance has been numerically simulated; the effect of contact resistance and the importance ...

A complete mathematical formulation has been developed to numerically solve the fluid dynamics, simultaneous solidification and heat transfer phenomena associated with a droplet impacting a fixed

substrate in a typical thermal plasma spray...

In this research, thermal cyclic fatigue -TCF- behavior of a compositionally graded
layer -CGL- nanostructured coating was investigated and compared with the TCF
behavior of a micro-CGL coating. The layers, as a ...
