Overview
The liquid pressure recovery factor (FL) is a critical parameter in valve design, governing flow capacity under choked flow conditions and directly influencing cavitation performance, pressure recovery, and overall valve reliability. Since FL depends heavily on the internal geometry of the valve, accurately predicting it is essential for designing efficient and robust flow control solutions.
Traditionally, determining (FL) requires extensive flow loop testing as defined in ANSI/ISA-75.02.01 standards. While reliable, these experimental methods are time-consuming, costly, and offer limited visibility into internal flow phenomena such as pressure distribution and cavitation inception. Designers often rely on limited data points, making it difficult to fully optimize valve geometry and flow paths. However, conventional CFD workflows, while insightful, require significant expertise, complex setup, and high computational resources, restricting their widespread adoption.
This upcoming technical webinar focuses on how Autonomous Valve CFD simplifies and automates the prediction of (FL) through validated simulation workflows. Using advanced simulation techniques to capture flow behavior and cavitation characteristics, the platform enables accurate, fast, and scalable analysis—empowering engineers to make informed design decisions and optimize valve performance.
