Multiscale modeling of particle deposition
The deposition and surface wettability of molten sand mixture on thermal barrier coatings is investigated to aid the development of funtionalized surfaces with tailored wetting properties such that the TBC degradation is mitigated in gas turbine engines. The depostion studies are carried out using a Euler-Lagrange framework while the wettability investigations are carried out using the volume-of-fluid and many-body dissipative particle dynamics (mDPD) methods.
