Numerical Modelling of Suspension High Velocity Oxy Fuel (SHVOF) Thermal Spray

By Sunil Chadha

Abstract: 

SHVOF thermal spray allows for the deposition of dense coatings onto the substrate to form a protective barrier. The coatings deposited allow to improve wear resistance, provide protection against corrosion and improving thermal properties. Developing experimental techniques to monitor the inflight particle conditions is currently near impossible task. The difficulty in measuring the inflight particle conditions is a result of the size of the particles, the inflight particle size is of the order of nano-meters.

This is where computational modelling plays a role, we can use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to aid current experimental procedures. SHVOF thermal spray is a challenging process to model due to the nature of the physics. SHVOF thermal spray is a system that incorporates multiphase, compressible, reacting flow with heat transfer and phase changes. This talk will give a background on the current modelling techniques being developed to model this complex system. The role in which modelling can aid experimental procedures will also be discussed.
