- Additional information
- Valves used in severe-service applications are geometrically complex resulting in complex flow fields that may associated with flashing and cavitation, if not adequately designed. The design standards do not include local flow effects, especially in multistage applications. This paper bridges this gap for the first time and provides major contribution in the field. This work resulted in further collaboration between the university and a major OEM for valves. The work enabled the team to reach finals of the best KTP supported by EPSRC award (https://news-archive.hud.ac.uk/news/2015/november/ktpwithweirvalvesupforbestofthebestaward.php) and resulted in a number of innovate UK projects with other valve companies(inflosense.hud.ac.uk).
