Multiphysics Modelling of Powder Coating of U-Profiles: Towards Simulation-based Optimization of Key-Performance Attributes by Variation of Powder-Parameters

Multiphysics simulation software has been developed to predict the key performance attributes of industrial powder coating applications based on applied process-parameter settings. The is a Eulerian-Lagrangian finite-volume solver OpenFOAM, capable modelling mass transfer effects between powder-coating pistols and electrically grounded metallic substrates. It considers various factors such as fluid dynamics process airflow, coating-particle dynamics, particle-substrate interactions, particle charging mechanisms within corona. fully compatible with Massive Simultaneous Cloud Computing technology, allowing hundreds simulated scenarios be computed simultaneously. Experimental validation efforts have conducted, indicating high degree practical relevance technology.  current study aims demonstrate potential for adjusting lines optimizing U-profiles. Specifically, focuses key-performance-attributes application respect varying material parameters powder, namely mean diameter, standard deviation Gaussian size distribution, density. predicts visualizes patterns, efficiencies, batch-based thickness U-shaped substrate, resulting in concrete optimized presented results are highly relevant suppliers.&nbsp
