Abstract: 
This paper presents a model of the machining process for complex-profile parts in a pseudo-fluidised abrasive bed using air jets.
       The aim of the study is to improve edge machining accuracy by optimizing air jet feed parameters. The work employs kinematic diagrams and analytical relationships that describe jet expansion upon exiting the nozzle and its interaction with the machined surfaces.
       The proposed model takes into account the influence of key technological parameters – the air jet feed angle and pressure – on the process of edge rounding formation.
       Dependencies have been established to determine the optimal air jet feed angle to the machined edges and the pressure at the nozzle exit, ensuring uniform rounding of sharp and blunt edges in “oblique” grooves.
        The scientific novelty lies in the development of a machining process model that considers the specifics of the pseudo-fluidised environment and the impact of the air jet on various edge types. The practical value of the study lies in the potential to improve the accuracy and quality of machining complex-profile aerospace components.
Keywords: air jet, complex-profile part, compressor disk, edge, machining accuracy, nozzle, pseudo-fluidised abrasive bed, «oblique» groove
