By
Praveen Kumar
Foundation course on Valve flow performance simulation using Autonomous Valve CFD (AVC). This course walks you through the fundamentals of valve flow analysis and shows how CFD-based simulation can replace or complement traditional physical flow loop testing.
What You'll Learn
- Understand the CFD process to simulate flow in Valves
- Predict the Valve Flow Coefficient (Cv) using CFD
- Evaluate Valve Hydrodynamic Torque Coefficient (Cdt) using CFD
- Discover how Autonomous Valve CFD can streamline your valve design verification and optimization process
- Understand the physical flow loop test process and their challenges
