Evaluation and optimisation of valves using SIMERICS MP!
CFD Simulation of Valves
With SIMERICS MP, all types of valves can be simulated dynamically. The opening and closing characteristics are being calculated by solving the equations of motion in parallel. Therefore, the dynamic pressure distribution, spring forces and the mass of the moving components are taken into account.
Goal of the simulation is the prediction of the valve opening pressure, volume flow, valve dynamics, valve coefficients, definition of loads or the prediction of cavitation and the according damage.
As a result of our FAST simulation algorithm, SIMERICS MP offers the opportunity to simulate complete systems, constiting of valves, pumps or bearings.
