Complex investigation of thermophysical processes in plasma-jet spraying

The modern state of art concerning the equipment for gas thermal spraying, methods of diagnostics and modelling of high-temperature dust-laden jets and study of structure and properties of original and sprayed materials allows us to realize the complex experiment with the purpose to obtain a reliable information for the complete chain of phenomena occurring in the "original powder material - its injection into the flow - formation of dust-laden plasma jet - sprayed material - coating" system. required to create the corresponding methodology, physical and mathematical models, numerical methods, apparatus, hardware and software to extend our possibilities in fundamental and applied researches in the field of plasma dynamics of jet disperse system by means of rational combination of physical and computational experiments. In this connection the survey of results which have been obtained at the Institute of Thermophysics of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences in order to realize of above-mentioned approach is presented. The development of the complex experiment conception
