The coating microstructure is strongly dependent on the splat morphology and inter-splat contact nature. Therefore,it is necessary to investigate the splat formation mechanism in order to analyze the coating properties. A dynamical process of a single fully molten droplet impacting onto a smooth surface was investigated. At the same time,the interaction between the two molten droplets in the horizontal and vertical directions was also simulated.
