Abstract
The flow resistance characteristics of a low-noise ball valve applied to a system were numerically simulated and investigated via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Then, the flow resistance characteristics of normal-temperature water and steam as the media for the low-noise ball valve under different flow velocities were analyzed, followed by an experimental study and a comparison with the numerical simulation result. The study results reveal that the numerical simulation results of flow resistance characteristics are highly consistent with experimental results, thus verifying the effectiveness of numerical simulation. With the fixed opening of the valve, the flow resistance characteristics of the valve remain unchanged instead of changing with the medium and flow velocity.
