Fluid Simulation Platform Designed for Hydraulic Valve Models

With the rapid advancements in computational power and numerical simulation algorithms, utilizing simulation technology for the research and analysis of industrial equipment has become indispensable. In the industry, the performance of hydraulic valves affects the entire hydraulic system, as they are primarily used to control the pressure within hydraulic systems to ensure their normal operation and safety. However, existing simulation platforms, while ensuring functional versatility, struggle to provide algorithms or applications tailored to specific equipment. Therefore, this paper designs a fluid simulation platform specifically for hydraulic valve models. The proposed framework integrates the algorithms and file formats involved in the entire fluid simulation workflow, extending support for mesh data, flow field data, and related algorithms. To meet the simulation needs in various scenarios, we have also included multiple mesh generation algorithms within the framework. Furthermore, we have employed various mesh quality assessment algorithms to check the quality of the generated meshes, ensuring they meet the standards of fluid simulation. High-quality meshes significantly enhance simulation efficiency and convergence. Finally, by incorporating different fluid simulation solvers and visualization algorithms, the framework overcomes the limitations of existing simulation platforms in adapting to specific equipment or scenarios. The results indicate that our designed framework not only achieves an efficient fluid simulation workflow for hydraulic valve models but also facilitates the storage and linkage of hydraulic valve models, mesh models, and flow field data.
