Cooling Lubricant Boundary Conditions for wet Turning Simulations

In recent years, the rise in computation and modelling capabilities has enabled first chip formation simulations for wet cutting processes. Currently, chip formation simulations are limited to a small simulation domain around the cutting edge. Hence, vague assumptions of inflow boundary conditions of the cooling lubricant must be made. In this paper, a procedure is shown to determine the boundary conditions of the free fluid jet for different cooling lubricant strategies by combination of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and meshfree fluid simulations. As a result, usual assumptions of cooling lubricant boundary conditions are evaluated and deviations are identified.
