CFD Simulation and Analysis of Abrasive Fluid Jet Machining

Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is a reasonable recognized non-traditional machining practice. It is a practice
where material is detached by influenced erosion of higher pressure higher velocity of water with higher velocity of sand
abrasives on a work part [1-3]. AWJM has certain advantageous characteristics which helped to achieve significant
involvement into manufacturing industries [4]. The abrasive water liquid mix is let into the jet at intake and passed over
converging cone to focus tube and departures at nozzle, in which the focus tube is utilized for managing the flow. Flow is
assumed as two stage flow mix in which water with glycerol and water with acrylamide is liquid stage and abrasives is
solid stage, but combined with the liquid stage. Two stage flow is stable and contains tempestuous flow features [5,6].
