(a) Sequence of temperature fields (in (K)) during the detachment of the first two droplets (from t = 0 to 0.4 (s)) and the growth of the melt pool during the build-up of the wall (from t = 1.5 to 4.5 (s)). The black arrow indicates the direction of the wire, and the white one indicates the relative motion of the substrate. (b) Longitudinal cross-sectional view (xz plane) of the fluid velocity field during metal transfer.
