Versatility Of Waterjet Technology Machining Materials From Macro- To Microscale

Waterjet technology involves complex flow phenomena which include supersonic turbulent compressible and three-phase interactions. This book by the editor and colleagues distills three decades of R&D expertise from Flow Industries Inc. and OMAX Corp. based in Kent Washington USA. Organized into 10 sections and 32 chapters it blends physical experiments and limited computational fluid dynamics analyses as R&D methodologies. Through flow visualization and probe measurement the book characterizes waterjet geometry water-droplet and abrasive speeds surface roughness and edge qualities of machined parts and more. It showcases advancements in micro abrasive-waterjet technology recognized as a 2016 R&D 100 Awards finalist and honored with the 2016 Tibbitts Award from the U.S. Small Business Administration. |Versatility of Waterjet Technology Machining Materials from Macro- to Microscale
