Abstract
In this research, the Eulerian method was used to simulate the relationship between the preheating temperature and the critical velocity. The size and shape of the void (no-material-existence zone) and the thickness of the model were investigated. Various preheating temperatures were used throughout the whole model. The critical velocity was determined with jet's appearance. The simulation results demonstrated the void size and shape influenced the results, although the thickness did not. The critical velocity decreased as the preheating temperature rose. The relationship between critical velocity and minimum preheating temperature when the jet formed appeared to be a linear relationship. The experimental results confirmed the simulation results. The linear equation could be used to predict the preheating temperature at a certain velocity below the critical value. The corresponding steady maximum PEEQ (equivalent plastic strain) value at the minimum preheating temperature could be divided into a stable type and a fluctuation type.
