On one model of cavitation flow of electrolyte in electrochemical machining

A mathematical model of the two-dimensional problem of the electrochemical machining of metals is constructed taking into account the influence of cavitation on the anodic dissolution of the metal. The electric field in the inter electrode gap is described by the “ideal process” model, and the electrolyte flow is modeled by an ideal incompressible fluid. The results of calculations of the steady-state shape of the surface of the part obtained by processing the specified shape with an electrode tool are presented. The graphs reflect the qualitative effects associated with the influence of the cavity.
