The one-phase flow and the two-phase flow in a fluidic element are investigated by measuring Reynolds stress distributions of the main jets using the laser Doppler velocimeter. In the one-phase flow, a water flow jets from a main nozzle into water and in the two-phase flow, a water fiow jets into air. Some results with the one-phase flow are as follows. When either of the two control ports is c...

BACKGROUND Recent literature has revealed that water-jet-assisted liposuction offers a new method of conventional liposuction techniques by using the gentle spray of fluid. However, there has not yet been a systematic, randomized, controlled study to demonstrate its effect on the vitality and postoperative fat survival of fresh lipoaspirates. In this study, the authors compared liposuction with...

Although continuous progress in technical advancement, the conventional machining process has became unsatisfactory healthcare due to its disadvantages. This inadequacy led researches consider using application of nontraditional that can machine extremely hard and brittle materials into complicated shapes healthcare. Researches have proved diverse NTM applications Water Jet Machining (WJM), Ult...

Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is a non-traditional thermo-electric process capable of machining hard materials of highly complex three dimensional shapes. In this paper, the dry WEDM experimentation is conducted using oxygen as a dielectric medium. The deionized water is replaced by the oxygen as a dielectric medium to ameliorate the environmental impact in the machining surroundin...

Abrasive waterjet is a novel machining process capable of processing wide range of hard-to-machine materials. This research addresses modeling and optimization of the process parameters for this machining technique. To model the process a set of experimental data has been used to evaluate the effects of various parameter settings in cutting 6063-T6 aluminum alloy. The process variables consider...

In this paper, the interaction of a transonic, turbulent axisymmetric jet with the workpiece is studied. Numerical simulations are carried out using an explicit, coupled solution algorithm with solution-based mesh adaptation. Effect of gas pressure and nozzle standoff distance on structure of the supersonic shock pattern is studied. Experiments are carried out to study the effect of processing ...

Mining/marine bushings, biomedical implants, and many more are among the several applications of lightweight elastomer components. The use non-traditional machining to manufacture these good-quality components in small or batch-size units is required because primary manufacturing method requires customised mould follow-up machining. In this regard, present work focuses on investigating performa...
