- The valves used in severe-service applications are geometrically complex and these geometric features are often not fully represented in designs based on existing standards that rely on global performance index. This paper provides a transformative design approach in which both the local and global flow features are uniquely related with geometric features. This work also provided the basis for further collaboration between the university and a major OEM for valves. The success of collaboration has resulted in increased efficiency in design process, improved sales and 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).
