Abstract
This paper is concerned with the application of a two-fluid turbulence model for plasma spray processes at atmospheric pressure, for improving our physical insight into the plasma/particle interactions. In this two-fluid turbulence model, the turbulent stream is treated as a two-phase mixture. The fluid parcels are assumed to be arranged in fragments, and they can exchange mass, momentum, and other properties. A stochastic approach is then used to study particle behavior under the influence of the two-fluid parcels. The Stokes number is introduced as an indicator of particle dispersion behavior. A series of simulations is performed to include the influence of different injection locations, particle sizes, and injection velocities. The results indicate the importance of the existence of large-scale eddies and variable property, Knudsen, and mass-transfer cooling effects on the particle motion and heating history.
