CFD Analysis of Fluid Flow in Wire EDM

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the most efficient debris exclusion in wire EDM. The debris particle motion and flow field during wire EDM are analyzed by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). This report deal with the influence of wire's running speed and the thickness of workpiece on debris particle furthermore, the observation result by high speed video camera was compared with CFD result for confirming the reliability.
