چکیده
Abstract Impact spreading of droplets in spray coating of paper was investigated using numerical simulation based on a volume-offluid (VOF) model. The results include the effects of droplet size, droplet impact velocity, liquid viscosity, liquid surface tension and paper web velocity on droplet spreading. Pressure and strain rate fields as well as timescales of spreading are reported. The results help understanding the parameters and mechanisms that control the droplet spreading and provide information on possible operating windows of the spray coating process.

متن کاملSolidification of Impinging Molten Metal Droplet on a Cold Substrate
The phenomenon of impingement and solidification of a molten metal droplet on a substrate occurs in processes like thermal spray coating and spray casting. Molten metal droplet after impingement over a substrate becomes a splat after spreading and solidification. The phenomenon of spreading and solidification of a droplet can be understood by mathematical modeling. In the present work, the spre...

متن کاملNumerical modelling of sequential droplet impingements
During the process of thermal spray coating, molten powders are sprayed and deposited on substrates to generate protective coatings. It is essential to have a clear understanding of the physics of droplet impingement on the surface of substrates for better control of the generation of splats and the structure of coating. A numerical model is developed in this paper to simulate the dynamics of t...
