Due to the relatively high degree of complexities involved with water jet spot welding process, the experimental and conventional numerical methods are hardly capable of providing all comprehensive analysis. In present paper, water jet spot welding of copper, brass and aluminum plates has been examined experimentally using a gas-gun. Considering the details of the whole process, numerical modeling of jet formation and interaction between jet and solid surface have been performed, employing the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) approach. In addition, Jonson-Cook damage model has been utilized to predict the damage initiation in solid surfaces. The velocity profiles of jet along axial and radial directions; and also time history of jet are obtained to describe the variation of velocity in different points of jet with time. Results confirm that the presented method has been successful in predicting the behavior of jet during the process, and plate deformation and failure patterns.
