Additional information
This EPSRC supported work was a major step forward in achieving the most efficient fluid delivery conditions for grinding. It displaced previous misunderstandings based on incorrect flow assumptions. Practical trials (including for the first time sophisticated flow measurement via LDA in the context of industrial grinding) supported theoretical modelling and simulation of nozzle flows and jet coherence to demonstrate that wheel porosity and jet speed are key criteria in achieving maximum useful flow. This research is of major practical significance and is of continuing use to collaborators, such as Cinetic-Landis Ltd and PTG Holroyd.
