Laser direct deposition is widely used for rapid freeform fabrication of fully dense components with good metallurgical properties directly from computer-aided design drawings. Because of complex physics involved such as laser powder interaction, laser substrate interaction, track interface evolution, and melt-solid interaction, it is important to develop simulation models to better understand the characteristics and mechanisms in the process so that optimization and control of a laser direct deposition process are possible. In this paper, a new comprehensive three-dimensional self-consistent transient model is presented for a coaxial laser direct deposition process, which considers physical behaviors such as laser particle interaction, mass addition, heat transfer, fluid flow, melting, and solidification. A continuum model is built to deal with different phases (gas, liquid, solid, and mushy zone) in the calculation domain. An improved level-set method, which takes the conservative form while being impli...
