J0101-2-5 Numerical Investigations of Electrochemical Machining Process for Compressor Blade Considering with Two-phase Flow

Abstract

Electro-Chemical Machining (ECM) is an advanced machining technology and has been applied to highly specialized fields, such as aerospace, aeronautics, and medical industries, However, some problems remain to be solved The efficient tool-design, electrolyte processing, and disposal of metal hydroxide sludge are typical problems. In the previous study, we presented models to calculate the flow fields in an ECM process based on one- and two-way coupling simulation for interactions between gas and liquid phase. And we verified the presented models by comparing the numerical results with the experimental data for a flat plate electrode configuration. In this study, we apply the models for an ECM process for a compressor blade and compare the blade geometry.
