“…Xu et al [8,9] investigated the discharge capacity under different pressure difference between inlet and outlet, the area of inlet and throttle though CFD simulation and validating experiments [10]. Self [11] predicted the aerodynamic noise and its spectrum characteristics caused by low Mach jet by using the Lighthill acoustic analogy method, and the predicted results were in good agreement with the actual results.…”

Throttle valve is an important device in well control manifold. During field use, the seat and plug of the valve often fail of erosion, posing a serious security risk to well control. Erosion resistance device is a tool to counter the problem. Using the three-dimensional (3D) flow field analysis software of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this paper numerically simulates the flow field of erosion resistance device. The results show that, under the given boundary conditions, the mean velocity of the water flow does not change much as it passes through the inlet and outlet of erosion resistance device. The flow velocity changes very slightly, as the fluid pressure difference varies from 0.29MPa to 0.3MPa. The maximum flow velocity (16.36m/s) appears on the outlet wall of the device, beneath the alloy head. The alloy head, which is made of hard alloy material, is not greatly affected by the maximum velocity. Thus, the erosion resistance device will not be severely eroded. This means the erosion resistance device can work normally under actual conditions.

Efficient water supply systems are necessary for the development and sustainability of human societies. One relevant aspect of these systems is the metering function, recorded employing water meters, which determines the charges levied to the clients and estimates the water losses in the network. Inaccurate measurements are detrimental for both the client and the supplier. For allowing more precise metering, one option is to use an air volume reducing device, an accessory similar to a check valve that minimizes the air volume entrapped in the pipelines, thus improving metering accuracy. This research used an experimental design to determine the influence of four factors and their interactions on the pressure drop across these devices as a preliminary step for allowing their extended use on low-pressure water supply systems. The results showed that the diameter, the spring stiffness, and the flow rate are significant factors in the pressure drop. The shape of the valve stem is statistically significant only when interacting with other factors.
