Application of CFD Numerical Simulations and Shape Optimization to Modify the Flow Characteristics of Throttle Valves
The aim of the study was to perform a numerical analysis using the CFD method of oil flow through a hydraulic valve gap and to perform an optimisation of the gap shape with a view to linearising the valve characteristics. As part of the work, a flow analysis of the valve was carried out using numerical simulations. This made it possible to develop the characteristics of the studied valve.
