The paper presents a model developed by the authors and aimed to describe heat and mass transfer during wire-based additive manufacturing, when electron beam, plasma or arc are used as energy sources in case of non-consumable electrode welding. The model describes non-stationary and non-equilibrium conjugated processes of heat and mass transfer in free-surface liquid metal. The solution of differential equations of viscous fluid motion (Navier-Stokes), with convective terms and at laminar flow, has become the model base. Melting and crystallization of the metal is recognized by heat release in a two-phase region. The material density variation during phase transitions of the first and the second order can be described by introducing a certain dependence on temperature. The model is able to consider the use of preliminary and additional induction heating by changing the initial temperature and establishing an additional distributed bulk heat source. Variables for the simulation of heat and mass transfer during additive formation are the intensity and type of the heat source, the plate initial temperature, the power density distribution, the intensity of the additional bulk heating, the dependence of material thermal and physical characteristics on temperature, the characteristics of the phase transitions, the motion velocity of the heat source, the rate of wire feeding.

The macroscopic regularities of heat and mass transfer and phase transitions during water droplets motion through high-temperature (more than 1000 K) gases have been investigated numerically and experimentally. Water droplet evaporation rates have been established. Gas and water vapors concentrations and also temperature values of gas-vapor mixture in small neighborhood and water droplet trace have been singled out. Possible mechanisms of droplet coagulation in high-temperature gas area have been determined. Experiments have been carried out with the optical methods of two-phase gas-vapor-droplet mixtures diagnostics (“Particle Image Velocimetry” and “Interferometric Particle Imaging”) usage to assess the adequateness of developed heat and mass transfer models and the results of numerical investigations. The good agreement of numerical and experimental investigation results due to integral characteristics of water droplet evaporation has been received.

The main goal of this paper is to describe new approach to constructing generalized closure relationships for pipe, annular and sub-channel transfer coefficients for wall friction, heat and mass transfer. The novelty of this approach is that it takes into account not only axial and transversal parameter distributions, but also an azimuthal substance transfer effects. These constitutive relations, which are primordial in the description of single- and two-phase one-dimensional (1D) flow models, can be derived from the initial 3D drift flux formulation. The approach is based on the Reynolds flow, boundary layer, and substance transfer generalized coefficient concepts. Another aim is to illustrate the validity of the “conformity principle” for the limiting cases. The method proposed in this paper is founded on the similarity theory, boundary layer model, and a phenomenological description of the regularity of the substance transfer (momentum, heat, and mass) as well as on an adequate simulation of the flow structures. With the proposed generalized approach it becomes possible to develop an integrated in form and semi-empirical in maintenance structure analytical relationships for wall friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients.
