Cavitation Erosion of Piping Line behind a Butterfly Valve

Investigation of the Flow and Cavitation in a Butterfly Valve

Since knowledge on hydrodynamic torque of a butterfly valve is very important for butterfly valve design, its hydrodynamic torque is investigated in this paper. In reality, the investigation of the loss coefficient and torque from some experiments will take a long time and a lot of money. This paper presents a statistical study of the flow past the butterfly valve in a static analysis using com...

Noise Reduction in Butterfly Valve Cavitation by Semicircular Fins and Visualization of Cavitation Flow

Modeling of piping erosion in loess soils

Extended abstract Introduction Piping erosion is one of the common water erosions usually occurs in soil with low infiltration and soluble minerals that finally changes landscape. Different factors control its occurrence and development. To predict piping occurrence/hazard through modeling, effective factors should be prioritized and considered as inputs of the model. The present study...

A New Parameter to Predict Cavitation Erosion

In order to avoid or predict cavitation erosion, it is necessary to know resistance of materials against to cavitation impacts. The cavitation impacts, which are larger than certain threshold level, only affect cavitation erosion of materials. In the present paper, existence of the threshold level was revealed experimentally. The threshold level of material is a new parameter to predict the cav...
