Figure 18: Temperature contour over the plate(left), and in the vicinity of the tool(right),<br />

figure from [62].<br />

St.Georges et al. [63] use CosmosFlow CFD code to develop a thermal-fluid<br />

model of FSW in 6mm thick Al-6061 plates. A liquid with temperature dependent<br />

viscosity is used with adjustment based on experimental material behavior. Other<br />

material properties (ρ, c p , k) are assigned constant values. Model temperature<br />

distributions are presented for the weld conditions below. Tool rotation is initially not<br />

considered.<br />
