Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on a Novel Cavitation-Assisted Abrasive Flow Polishing Method

A novel polishing method is proposed to increase material removal rates through the acceleration of abrasive movements using micro-jets formed by spontaneous collapses of bubbles due to the cavitation in a special-shaped Venturi tube. The Venturi structure is optimized by numerical simulations. Proc...
