An Investigation Of The Dynamics Of Abrasive Waterjet Formation, Md. Ekramul Hasan Khan
Theses
The aim of this research was to investigate the jet formation and the jet behavior, as characterized by the velocity field, the force exerted by the jet on a work-piece and the jet geometry. The velocity and force distributions were measured using a laser transit anemometer (LTA) and a piezoelectric force transducer (PFT) respectively for constant water pressure (334.6 MPa) supply. The jet structure and its instantaneous behavior were visualized by the used of high speed filming. LTA and PFT measuring techniques were established and verified. The measurements were performed under different operating conditions. It was found that at a …
