Abstract
The numerical simulation of the interaction between a plasma flow and a liquid jet is important for understanding and predicting the physical parameters involved in plasma spraying processes. This work proposes an original model for dealing with three-dimensional and unsteady turbulent interactions between a plasma flow and a liquid water jet. A compressible model, based on augmented Lagrangian, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence modeling and Volume of Fluid (VOF) approaches, capable of managing incompressible two-phase flows as well as turbulent compressible motions is presented.
