Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of single- phase and two-phase flow was performed in a 90 degree horizontal to vertical elbow with 12.7 mm inside diameter. Characteristic flow behavior was ...

2D numerical simulations of some control valve were carried out based on RANS method by using FLUENT 6.3 software. The finite volume method, standard k-ε turbulence model and SIMPLE algorithm were ...

Abstract: The large flow rate high speed on/off valves (LFHSV) have often been used to control flow or pressure in large power applications due to its fast switching. However, the applications of ...

The performance of a multiphase flow packed-bed reactor was evaluated by a mixing-cell network model in which the cell-scale flow field information was provided by multifluid CFD modeling. Such a ...

In contrast, incorporating control valves with orifice plates provides greater flexibility for systems with significant changes in volume flow rates and pressures. However, in certain hydrostatic ...

The numerical solution of the compressible Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations in the low Mach number regime (M = 0.05) was used to approximate the flow of liquid. 2. The CFD Modeling. With the ...
