Fluid Control Systems and Valves

Fluid and thermal analysis

A design of a Flow control Valve is required to maintain the flow rate without the onset of cavitation or maintaining the flow without exceeding the pressure limit. The device should have the ability to achieve all product specifications without exceeding the cost to maintain the market leadership and brand recognition. Understanding the flow and thermal characteristics inside the flow control valve is imperative in maintaining the higher quality products

Erosion analysis

When valves are working with chemical, process industries, gas reservoirs and inside IC engines, it will often encounter fluid with high solids which often results in high erosion of valves and valve joints leading to both economic and production losses. In FlowXplore, we simulate the different factors that influence the erosion rate. Such as erosion effects due to flow rate and particle concentration. Finally, the simulation includes alterations to valve shape without decreasing the flow rate.

Static Structural Analysis

The valve are subjected to structural loading due to human interaction, fluid flow and frictional shear etc. at different components of assembly. These stresses are taken into care for the quality and FOS of the product. This enables to find the insight of the component at various specified conditions and the nature of loading at each state. The information inferred fulfils the need for optimization, material reduction etc. This also paves a way for a cost effective Analysis Led Designing (ALD).

Seismic Analysis

Simulations has a capability to making impossible experimental abilities to possible. Earth quakes are capable of disrupting high structures and long flow piping and are impossible to perform experiments in such circumstances. Seismic analysis helps to find the structural loading due to sudden earthquakes and random vibrations. On coupling with Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI), it is also capable to find the sloshing of fluid and its impacts.
