      abstract     = {Atmospheric plasma spraying is a versatile technology that
                      can produce coatings with a wide range of characteristics.
                      Adapting the coating characteristics to the increasing
                      demands of modern industrial applications is an ongoing
                      research topic. Modelling and simulation increase the
                      understanding of the process dynamics and have the potential
                      to predict the coating properties. Correlating the coating
                      properties with the process parameters is an essential step
                      for a modelling approach to fulfil this potential. Due to
                      its complexity, it is practically impossible to describe the
                      whole process in a single model. However, based on the
                      nature and the scale of the governing physical phenomena,
                      the plasma spraying process can be divided into constituting
                      sub-processes, which can then be described by separate
                      models. Available models of isolated sub-processes in the
                      literature are not able to derive the coating properties
                      from the process parameters. This thesis is therefore
                      devoted to creating a predictive simulation chain by
                      combining the models of atmospheric plasma spraying
                      sub-processes with each other and thus connecting the
                      coating properties with the process parameters. The
                      simulation chain includes the established models of the
                      sub-processes, models developed in this work to describe
                      previously neglected phenomena and the coupling strategies
                      designed to link separate models together. The existing
                      validated model of the plasma generator was utilized, while
                      the discrete particle jet model was developed further to
                      include the temperature gradients within individual
                      particles. This model assumes perfectly homogenous and
                      spherical particles. To account for realistic particle
                      morphologies, a separate model that can resolve particles
                      with complex shape was developed. By incorporating this
                      model into the gradient particle jet model, the multiscale
                      particle jet model were developed. Since the temperature
                      gradients within the particles cannot be captured
                      experimentally, the model was validated indirectly by
                      correlating particle temperatures with experimentally
                      obtained coating thickness distributions. A particle impact
                      model was generated to simulate the coating formation by
                      multiple particle impacts. This model can track the cooling
                      rates of the individual particles as well. A multi-scale
                      coupling strategy enabled linking the multiscale particle
                      jet with the coating formation model. Finally, a model for
                      the determination of the effective thermal conductivity of
                      the simulated coatings was implemented as the final link in
                      the simulation chain. In addition to increasing the
                      understanding of distinct aspects of the process, the
                      simulation chain has laid the foundation of a predictive
                      tool that can be deployed for designing new coating
                      systems.},
