Effect of Flow Characteristics on the Operation of a Solenoid Switching Control Valve

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effect of the compressible flow characteristics inside a high-speed electromagnetic valve on the operation of the valve is investigated using a numerical simulation. The numerical simulation solves Navier-Stokes equations and heat transfer equations by coupling, and the compressible flow phenomena inside the valves are studied focusing on the shock structures. . Fluid-structure interaction is considered using freely moving grid deformations. The flow patterns of subsonic acceleration, choked flow, supersonic expansion, and a strong curved shock were observed inside the valve during on/off operations. The subsonic flow acceleration affected the operation characteristics of the valve.
