The material during the welding process is considered as non-Newtonian fluid abided by Norton-Hoff constitutive law, and viscous dissipation is assumed as the unique heat source. The model is used to numerically simulate the material flow and heat transfer in friction stir welding, and capture some useful process characteristics, .such as heat generation, temperature distribution and fluid.flow; besides, the velocity field is used to calculate streamlines of material flow, and the dimension of the deformation zone is measured.展开更多

The reverse rotation of the assisted shoulder and the tool pin is considered to model the heat generation rate. The predicted temperature difference between the advancing side and the retreating side in RDR-FSW is less than that in conventional FSW. There are two reverse flows during the RDR-FSW which is beneficial to the uniformity of the temperature profile. Due to the reverse rotation effects of the assisted shoulder, the predicted shape and size of thermal-mechanically affected zone （TMAZ） based on the iso-viscosity line are decreased greatly compared to the conventional FSW. It lays solid foundation for optimizing the process parameters in RDR-FSW.展开更多

The results were compared with that of the corresponding same row number smooth tube bundles.The corresponding correlation for the Nusselt numbers and Euler numbers vs the Reynolds numbers for the corrugated tubes were obtained. It was found that the corrugated tube bundles will reach the developed state at a smaller row number compared with the smooth tube bundles. Within the range of Reynolds numbers of the present work, the heat transfer coefficients and the friction factors of the corrugated tube bundles were 13.6%-29.2% and 3.2%-60.0% higher than those of the smooth tube bundles respectively.展开更多
