Friction Stir Welding with Experimental Validation
The project aims at numerically simulating the friction stir welding process
and then experimentally validating the results. Ansys Fluent has been
chosen as the solver since it is computationally very efficient, as changes
with boundary conditions and tool geometry can be analyzed with no
significant increase in solving time unlike in other software. B.H.Gardi Collage of Engineering & Technology – India
