Numerical Model for Cavitational Flow in Hydraulic Poppet Valves

The paper presents a numerical simulation and analysis of the flow inside a poppet valve. First, the single-phase (liquid) flow is investigated, and an original model is introduced for quantitatively describing the vortex flow. Since an atmospheric outlet pressure produces large negative absolute pr...
