    Abstract The splat formation is one of the basic processes in thermal spray coatings. The performance of these coatings is strongly related to the process of spreading and solidification of molten droplets. The aim of the present paper is to simulate the fluid flow, heat transfer and phase-change that occur when a micrometric molten droplet impacts onto a rigid substrate and to examine the effect of the substrate conditions, such as initial temperature and material on the solidification time and spreading process. The effect of thermal contact resistance is also investigated. The simulation model used is More >
