Using of CFD Simulations for Increasing Speed and Temperature of Flame Spray Technology

This paper describes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for state-of-the-art flame-spray processes and experimental validation of these simulations. Alternative nozzle designs are presented along with analysis of their impact on flow-field and flame parameters. Validated CFD models are used for performance prediction of these nozzles. Several variants are compared and the possibility of improvement of technology parameters is analyzed.
