The periodic material flow behavior has been widely considered as one of the most crucial characteristics during friction stir welding (FSW) process, but its formation and evolution mechanisms are still not fully understood. Recently, increasing evidences indicate that the original cause of the periodic feature is supposed to be tool eccentricity, rather than geometrical effect of the tool, which is the traditional viewpoint. In this study, numerical simulation based on computational fluid dynam
