| description | For industrial grinding processes, the workpiece cooling by metalworking fluids, which strongly influences the workpiece surface layer quality, is not yet fully understood. This leads to high efforts for the empirical determination of suitable cooling parameters, increasing the part manufacturing costs. To close the knowledge gap, a measurement method for the metalworking fluid flow field near the grinding wheel is desired. However, the varying curved surfaces of the liquid phase result in unpredictable light deflections and reflections, which impede optical flow measurements. In order to investigate the yet unknown optical measurement capabilities achievable under these conditions, shadowgraphy in combination with a pattern correlation technique and particle image velocimetry (PIV) are applied in a grinding machine. The results show that particle image velocimetry enables flow field measurements inside the laminar metalworking fluid jet, whereby the shadowgraph imaging velocimetry complements these measurements since it is in particular suitable for regions with spray-like flow regimes. As a conclusion, optical flow field measurements of the metalworking fluid flow in a running grinding machine are shown to be feasible. |
