Abstract: | Finely structured ceramic coatings can be obtained by solution precursor plasma spraying. The final structure of the coating
highly depends on the droplet size and velocity distribution at the injection, the evolution of the spray in the jet, and
droplet breakup and collision within the spray. This article describes a 3D model to simulate the transport phenomena and
the trajectory and heating of the solution spray in the process. O’Rourke’s droplet collision model is used to take into account
the influence of droplet collision. The influence of droplet breakup is also considered by implementing TAB droplet breakup
models into the plasma jet model. The effects of droplet collisions and breakup on the droplet size, velocity, and temperature
distribution of the solution spray are investigated. The results indicate that droplet breakup and collision play an important
role in determining the final particle size and velocity distributions on the substrate.
