Abstract. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) softwares have been prevalent in Abrasive Waterjet (AWJ) Modelling for optimization and prediction. However, there are many different methods in approaching a single problem especially in predicting the erosion rate of nozzle which is critical in influencing kerf quality of AWJ cutting. In this paper, three main methods of assembly meshing for an abrasive waterjet erosion were simulated which is Quadrilateral, Cutcell and Tetrahedrons and each processing time, quality of convergence and accuracy of results are discussed. Results shows that Quadrilateral mesh prevails in the mentioned category followed by Tetrahedrons and Cutcell.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
