A three-dimensional unsteady numerical model is used to study the atomization of droplets/particles in flight during suspension plasma spraying (SPS). The model incorporates electromagnetic fields, two-way coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian technique, and Kelvin-Helmholtz Rayleigh-Taylor breakup model to simulate droplets' interactions and atomization. The coefficients of the KHRT breakup model are modified for suspension atomization in the SPS process, with nine case studies conducted to investigate the effect of instabilities and liquid core length on atomization. The results show good agreement with existing data.
A three-dimensional unsteady numerical model is employed to study the in-flight droplets/particles' atomization in the suspension plasma spraying (SPS) process. A user-defined function (UDF) written in C programming adds the electromagnetic fields to the fluid flow field. A two-way coupled EulerianLagrangian technique simulates the sprayed droplets' interaction with the plasma flow. The developed model is applied to investigate the droplets' atomization behavior in the SPS process. Droplets' atomization is simulated by applying the Kelvin-Helmholtz Rayleigh-Taylor (KHRT) breakup model. This model considers the effects of both aerodynamic forces (Wave model) and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities on the atomization process combing a liquid core region (Levich model). Previous works to estimate the KHRT breakup model's coefficients were performed on a liquid jet (e.g., fuel jet) into the air. Because the density ratio of suspension in the plasma is higher than that of the liquid jet into the air (suspension density is higher than a liquid droplet and plasma density is lower than air), the model's coefficients should be modified for the suspension atomization in the SPS process. For this reason, nine case studies are investigated to see the effect of KH and RT instabilities and the liquid core length on the droplets/particles' atomization. The results obtained from the suggested values show a good agreement compared to the existing data. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
