Groove angle effect on micro-jet from shocked metal surface

According to smoothed particle hydrodynamics, we investigate numerically the micro-jets from grooved surfaces of different metals, where the velocities of jet head and material sources are discussed in detail. Our simulation results suggest that the jetting factor reaches its maximum at the half angle 45 degree, and the jetting factor reduces with the increase or decrease of the groove angle; also, the maximum velocity of jet shows a linear reduction with the increase of groove angel. Those results are consistent with the corresponding experimental results. The jetting material source and its dynamical process are analyzed. It is shown that with the increase of groove angel, the jet material sources transfer to the bottom of groove from two-side layer, while at the groove angel near 45 degree, a homogenous source layer throughout the groove comes into being. Finally, we further explain the jetting dynamics from different grooves by particle trajectory and its mechanical quantity history.
