Abstract

This study has investigated hydrodynamic of torque characteristics for disc of butterfly valve that is used in control for fire-protection water, The free-streamline theory is applied to predict hydrodynamic of torque characteristics. The torque characteristics of disc are corrected for the angles of attack of valve disc and surrounding velocity of flow by theoretical torque equation, and correction equation is added. The torque characteristics of disc are investigated for the ratio of hub thickness to the valve diameter. The result of prediction are shown to be successful as that show typical torque characteristics of butterfly valve. Since the velocity distribution around the disc is confirmed in a visualization, it is confirmed that the free-streamline theory can be used to predict the torque characteristics of disc.

본 연구에서는 소화용수 제어에 사용되고 있는 버터플라이 밸브의 디스크에 대한 유체역학 토크특성을 연구하였다. 자유-유선 이론이 유체역학 토크특성을 예측하는데 응용되었다. 디스크의 토크특성은 토크 이론식에 밸브 디스크의 개도각과 주변속도가 보정되었고, 보정식이 추가되었다. 디스크의 토크특성은 허브의 두께와 직경 비에 대해 조사하였다. 예측결과는 버터플라이 밸브의 전형적인 특성을 보여줌으로서 성공적인 것으로 보여진다. 디스크 주변의 속도분포를 가시적으로 확인함으로서, 자유-유선이론이 디스크의 토크특성를 예측하는데 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
