- Abstract
This research established a mathematical model of the useful grinding fluid flow rate of a rough grinding wheel. The abrasive distribution matrix of the grinding wheel surface topography was programmed on the MATLAB software platform to obtain the grinding wheel porosity φ at different particle sizes. The grinding fluid flow field was simulated and studied by using the volume of fluid multiphase flow model of FLUENT. Results showed that given a certain circular velocity of the grinding wheel, a larger grinding fluid jet velocity resulted in greater useful grinding fluid flow. When the grinding fluid jet velocity was set, the useful grinding fluid flow increased with increasing circular velocity of the grinding wheel. With the increasing velocity of the grinding wheel, as affected by the airbond layer, the increasing rate of the useful grinding fluid flow decreased, and the flow likewise showed a tendency to decrease. With a certain grinding fluid jet velocity, the useful flow rate of the grinding fluid was positively proportional to the useful flow. When the grinding fluid jet velocity changed and grinding wheel velocity was set, the grinding fluid jet velocity increased as the useful flow rate decreased. When the grinding fluid jet velocity was equivalent to the grinding wheel velocity, the useful flow rate of the grinding fluid was positively proportional to the useful flow. When the minimum clearance of grinding zone h increased, the useful grinding fluid flow and useful flow rate likewise increased. When the grinding fluid jet velocity was equivalent to the grinding wheel velocity, a larger nozzle gap width increased the flow supply for the grinding fluid and the useful grinding fluid flow. However, the increase in the useful flow rate of the grinding fluid was significantly smaller than that of the nozzle flow. This condition decreased the useful flow rate of the grinding fluid.
