NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE COOLING OF MELT DROPLETS AS APPLIED TO THE TECHNOLOGY OF PRODUCTION OF METAL POWDERS

Problems on the development of mathematical models for control of the technological processes of producing powders of metals from their melts and for optimization of these processes were considered. A numerical simulation of the solidifi cation of melt droplets in a turbulent cold-gas jet has been performed with the use of a complex mathematical model, and results of this simulation were used for estimating the infl uence of different factors on the fl ying of a melt droplet in a gas fl ow until it is solidifi ed.
