Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Cleveland State University, Washkewicz College of Engineering.
In this thesis, the goal is to simulate a hydraulic spool valve and be able to predict the flow rate of a valve. Also, to evaluate the impact of pressure difference on the flow without requiring lab testing. This will be done by utilizing traditional lab testing to set up and validate the simulation. This simulation will be done by using Ansys Fluent. A comparison of actual lab data to that of simulation using multiple standard turbulence models will be made in this thesis. Along with turbulence models, there will be comparison as how different solver options impact the results. After choosing the best turbulence model and solver, the simulation will be used to investigate the flow pattern in the valve and the effect of the pressure difference on the flow rate. This will help better correlate future simulations to lab testing, thus reducing the required tests needed to develop new products.
