Abstract
Prediction of the performance of the pressure-regulating valves in a large high-speed jet wind tunnel is important for obtaining and adjusting a high-quality flow field in the test section. In this work, we proposed a prediction method that corrects the theoretical characteristics of the pressure-regulation of the valve based on the experimental testing data of the ratio between the high- and low-pressure of the valve. The current method was validated for a given Mach number of 0.8, and the results showed that compared with the theoretical characteristics, the displacement deviation of the spool was reduced by 9.84%, and the total pressure deviation of the settling chamber was reduced by 43.61%. The results also show that compared with the single low-pressure ratio correction characteristic, the displacement deviation of the spool was reduced by 0.94%, and the total pressure deviation of the settling chamber was reduced by 3.4%. This method can consider the variation of the pressure loss for different pressure ratios and improve the pressure prediction of the valve.
