Based on the flow fluid simulation of incompressible flow, according to the
design parameters of water hydraulic slide valve, CFD software Fluent is used to simulate and analyze
the flow characteristics of water hydraulic slide valve.
The simulation model of Slide valve with rectangular openings has been built, and different combinations of boundary conditions are specified to make comparisons so as to ensure the correctness of the simulation.
In order to design an applicable water hydraulic servo valve, it's necessary to study the factors which influence the static characteristics of the slide valve with CFD software Fluent.
CFD simulations can avoid the construction and testing of many prototypes, and then reduce the R&D cost and time, and the accuracy has been confirmed on many occasions [2,3].

This is achieved through physical erosion experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations which are well suited to interpret the effect of particle dynamics and fluid mechanics on erosion in multiphase flows.
This paper will employ both physical multiphase erosion experiments and CFD simulations to address this gap in the literature.
CFD Campaign CFD Modelling Details.
The simulations follow the recommended practices in multi-phase flow specifically (ANSYS, 2012), and CFD in general.
This shows that the current CFD erosion methodology to account for transient flow features requires further model refinement as it relates to low-Stokes number particle simulations.
