Modelling and numerical simulation of surface coating via thermal spraying (B07)

• Subject Area: Materials Engineering
• Term: from 2007 to 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 16071898

The objective of TP B7 is the design of numerical methods for simulation and optimization of thermal spray coating. The main focus is on a unified approach to mathematical modeling of individual processes and inclusion of effects that have been neglected so far. The collaboration with TP A1 shall enhance the performance of the electric arc spraying system by using custom-made Laval nozzles and secondary gas inlets for adaptive control of the particle-laden free jet. A further objective is the coupling of stand-alone subproblem solvers and their embedding into a modular simulation toolbox for the entire process chain.
