| description | Experimental and simulated performance factors for a 48-in.- diameter butterfly
valve were compared for various valve openings and flow conditions to determine
the validity of using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to predict butterfly
valve performance factors such as pressure drop, hydrodynamic torque, flow
coefficient, loss coefficient, and torque coefficient. Experimental data for the
butterfly valve were obtained from the Utah Water Research Lab. Simulations were
carried out on three-dimensional models of the valve using general-purpose CFD
code STAR-CCM+. Results show that for mid-open valve positions (30–60
degrees), CFD adequately predicted butterfly valve performance factors. For
lower valve-angle cases (10–20 degrees), CFD simulations failed to
reasonably predict those same values, while higher valveopening angles
(70–90 degrees) gave mixed results. However, CFD simulations can provide
engineers the ability to understand and predict valve performance, especially
when laboratory testing may not be possible. |
