Motaman, S, Mullis, AM, Cochrane, RF et al. (1 more author) (2015) Numerical and Experimental Investigations of the Effect of Melt Delivery Nozzle Design on the Open- to Closed-Wake Transition in Closed-Coupled Gas Atomization. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B. ISSN 1073-5615
Abstract
The single-phase gas-flow behavior of a closed-coupled gas atomization was investigated with four different melt nozzle tip designs with two types of gas die. Particular attention was paid to the open- to closed-wake transition. Experimental Schlieren imaging and numerical modeling techniques were employed, with good agreement between the two being found in relation to the wake closure pressure. It was found that the melt nozzle tip design had a significant impact on the WCP, as did the type of die used, with a convergent–divergent gas die giving significantly high WCPs.
