Abstract
- With the evolution of industrial technology, the role of valves in multifarious systems has been accentuated. Traditional methodologies for valve design and fabrication predominantly depended on tangible laboratory tests to ascertain their hydrodynamic and thermodynamic properties. Such methodologies, although resource-intensive, often fall short in accurately predicting valve performance under genuine operational environments due to inherent experimental limitations. Presented in this study is a simulation system for valve design that seamlessly integrates virtual reality with fluid dynamics. This system's primary objective is the emulation and comprehensive assessment of valves' hydrodynamic and thermodynamic responses under a variety of operational conditions within a virtual environment. Such an approach considerably diminishes both the temporal and monetary costs of testing and provides design engineers with an intuitive, precise feedback mechanism. This, in turn, fosters enhanced design strategies ensuring the efficiency and safety of valve operations. Moreover, the amalgamation of thermodynamic principles with fluid dynamics models has been elucidated, proffering a more solid theoretical framework for the efficient design and pragmatic application of valves.
