Description
Summary:The article proposes the method for determining the flow capacity depending on the gate rotation angle of the ball valve with different cross-sectional profiles by numerical simulation using CFD. The existing experimental methods for calculating the flow capacity are considered. To verify the developed method, the comparative analysis of the calculated and experimental data was carried out. The ball valves flow capacity characteristics of 30- and 60-degree cross-section profiles tomorrow, depending on the rotation angle, were obtained. Recommendations for the use of control ball valves are given. The possibility of applying the flow capacity calculation method of valves is determined.
