Abstract

The importance of understanding how Calcium-Magnesium-Alumino-Silicate infiltrated thermal barrier coatings is growing as aero engine temperatures become hotter for efficiency gains. The infiltration of a modeled 7YSZ EB-PVD TBC with a manufactured variant of CMAS was simulated using the Eulerian Volume-of-Fluid method, including models for wall porosity(to air), surface tension, melting-solidification, and conjugate heat transfer. Characterization studies were done based on both the liquid CMAS viscosity, and the CMAS starting temperature. Infiltration times using experimentally measured viscosity were 2.5x slower than the viscosity calculated by an analytical model. The starting temperature (and initial solid volume fraction)of the CMAS had a slight affect on the infiltration time, which increased periodically with increasing starting temperature.
