Abstract
ABSTRACT The present article is devoted to quantifying the contribution of pores and cracks in the decrease of the effective thermal conductivity of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). A finite-difference-based model is used for the computation of heat transfer through a porous structure. Each pixel of a binary picture describing the pore network is interpreted as a cell of integration of the heat conduction equation. A thermal gradient is applied and a large system of linear Equations is subsequently derived. Since it has a strong influence on the required CPU time, particular attention is given to the solving procedure.
