Heat transfer, fluid flow and electromagnetic model of droplets generation and melt pool behaviour for wire arc additive manufacturing

•A comprehensive model is proposed to investigate the heat and mass transfer mechanisms in WAAM process.•The main phenomena in the arc plasma are modelled including the droplet creation, its detachment and fly to the melt pool, as well as the deposition build-up during a multi-layered process.•The m...
