High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) Thermal Spray Device

Dr. Basil Hassan of Sandia National Laboratories used Gridgen to create a four block grid for the internal and external flowfield for a High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) Thermal Spray Device. Due to symmetry only half the object is modeled. This grid and CFD computation have appeared in:

  1. "Spraying Virtual Iron on Real Engines", February 1996 issue of Mechanical Engineering magazine
  2. "CFD simulation of thermal spray technology" in the July 1996 issue of Automotive Engineering magazine
  3. "Computational and Experimental Investigation of High-Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) Thermal Spraying" (AIAA paper no. 96-1939).
  4. "Gridgen Supports Fluent Software", Fluent Inc. Newsletter, Fall 1996, pg. 16.
