CFD simulation of hydraulic valves


SSP Company is one of the producers of hydraulic valves in IRAN. Fortunately, I have had the chance to work with this company since January 2010. My job is to develop CFD simulations of current hydraulic valves for further enhancements.
SSP Company is in its way to produce proportional valves and my next job is to simulate these valves. Because of the spool motion in such valves, this simulation needs mesh movement capabilities and solid-fluid interactions.
For these simulations, I have used ANSYS-CFX as the solver. Moreover, meshes are produced by CFX-Mesh and ICEM CFD.
