Numerical modelling of thermal spray systems

چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to present a brief overview of the MD* thermal spray process, review the current existing models of heat transfer and fluid mechanics relevant to this process, outline a simplified thermal model implemented together with the results, and discuss the activities required for the implementation and verification of an accurate temperature model of the MD* thermal spray process. The thermal model involves a mixed Lagrangian/explicit Eulerian algorithm to track the solidification for the time-dependent, one-dimensional heat equation. The effect of operating parameters (droplet/substrate temperatures, droplet size, etc.) on temperature distribution and remelting thickness is predicted. Furthermore, the motivation behind the desire for accurate spray temperature prediction of the ongoing Navigator project will be discussed. NUMERICAL MODELLING OF THERMAL SPRAY SYSTEMS

Heat Transfer Modelling in Wide Gap Rail Thermite Welding
In the current study, a thermal model was used to investigate the effects of welding parameters on the distribution of temperature in wide gap aluminothermic rail welds. To solve the governing thermal equation, SUTCAST, a finite difference program (FDM) was employed while different aspects such as phase change and convective heat transfer in weld pool were taken into account in the numerical so...
متن کاملNumerical Modelling of the Segmental Lining of Underground Structures
There are several methods for analysing the behaviour of underground structures under different loading conditions. Most of these methods have many simplifications; therefore, in some cases, the results are too conservative and a very high safety factor, usually of more than 2 is needed. On the other hand, for stability analysis and the designing of support systems, these methods consider segme...
متن کاملA CFD Study of Sensitive Parameters Effect on the Combustion in a High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel Thermal Spray Gun
High-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying uses a combustion process to heat the gas flow and coating material. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been developed to predict gas dynamic behavior in a HVOF thermal spray gun in which premixed oxygen and propane are burnt in a combustion chamber linked to a parallel-sided nozzle. The CFD analysis is applied to investigate axisymm...
متن کاملSwitching fuzzy modelling and control scheme using T-S fuzzy systems with nonlinear consequent parts
This paper extends the idea of switching T-S fuzzy systems with linear consequent parts to nonlinear ones. Each nonlinear subsystem is exactly represented by a T-S fuzzy system with Lure’ type consequent parts, which allows to model and control wider classes of switching systems and also reduce the computation burden of control synthesis. With the use of a switching fuzzy Lyapunov function, the...
