Finally, Colegrove and Shercliff used a CFD commercial software for a 2D and 3D numerical investigation on the influence of pin geometry during FSW [10], comparing different pin shapes in terms of material flow and welding forces based on both a stick and a slip boundary condition at the tool-workpiece interface.
As far as numerical simulation of Aluminum-Magnesium mixed joints is regarded, no paper is known by the author in literature.
In order to take into account the two materials in the same simulation object, a dual phase material was defined.
A “phase transformation” was then induced in half sheet only before the beginning of the simulation of the FSW process.
After this first stage, the fictitious phase transformation was disabled in order to permanently have the two materials in the same simulation object.

Numerical Method
This paper uses CFD technology to solve the steady three-dimensional RANS equations, for obtaining detailed flow field parameters, choosing compressible ideal gas as calculation materials.
Spalart-Allmaras model is selected to solve turbulence equation, which has strong fault tolerance ability and suits for simulation the complex flow, to ensure accuracy and efficiency of the calculation.
In the simulation process, when the pressure ratio reaches maximum value, convergence error decreases slowly and has obvious cyclical fluctuation, which implicates that the compressor has appeared to stall[8].
In brief, compressor performance of numerical simulation coincides well with experimental data, especially, predicting the stall boundary with fairly accuracy.
So the numerical simulation method and the grid used in this article for prediction is credible.

This present CFD package applies the finite volume method to covert the governing partial differential equations into a system of discrete algebraic equations by discretizing the computational domain into grid mesh.
Results and Discussion Flow patterns and isotherm profiles The numerical simulations of shear-thinning fluid flow under the effect of thermal buoyancy strength have been carried out for Ri = 0 to 1, n = 0.3 to 0.9 at fixed values of Re = 40, Pr = 1 and blockage ratio β = 1/4.
Summary The numerical simulations of Non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids around a confined square cylinder under the effect of superimposed thermal buoyancy are carried out to understand and to determine the combined effect of buoyancy strength and rheological behavior on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in the range of these conditions: Ri = 0 to 1, n = 0.3 to 0.9 at fixed values of Re = 40, Pr = 1 and β = 1/4.
