Abstract

In this paper, flow in the wake region of a butterfly valve is studied numerically and experimentally. The disk angle of the valve is fixed as $30^{\circ}$ and the free stream velocity as 0.13m/s in the experiment. Numerical analysis is performed in similitude of the experiment. The standard LES model is used to represent the turbulence effect in the commercial code Fluent 5.5. It is shown that the numerical result is similar to the experimental result for the wake flow of a butterfly-type valve.
