By the CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulation, firstly, the pressure distributions of the flapper face and the fore end face of the nozzle are obtained.
T. [3] did some simulation research on hydraulic bridge of water hydraulic valve by CFD software, and got some results on the flow force of the flapper different from the present paper.
Software Simulation of the Hydraulic Bridge Based on the formula deductions above, the simulation model is therefore established to compute simplified hydraulic bridge.
Fig. 3 Simulation model of the hydraulic bridge Fig. 4 shows the relationship between flapper displacement and differential pressure of spool ends which is implied in Eq. 9 and simulation data points obtained by CFD software.
These data points are obtained by software simulation and the curve is plotted by data fitting.

CFD simulations are performed independently to calculate pressure histories, then they are subsequently mapped onto structural FE models as input loads.
In this approach, the pressure field generated by the blast wave is first computed through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, capturing the effects of confinement.
In this method, the pressure field, p(x, y, t), representing the blast load on a structure is obtained either through empirical models or via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations that focus solely on the fluid domain.
In this work, CFD simulations are carried out using blastFoam [8], a new, entirely open-source toolbox based on OpenFOAM.
Complementing the CFD analysis, FE simulations are conducted using Abaqus/Explicit, that was chosen primarily for its flexibility in accommodating user-defined Fortran subroutines, which enable the implementation of customized material models and the integration of CFD-derived pressure histories into FE analyses.
