OpenFOAM Template for Valve CFD Simulation
TensorVLV, part of the TensorCFD project by pttensor.com, accelerates OpenFOAM deployment in industrial applications. It provides templates for valve simulation, calculating pressure drop and cavitation.
With this development version, Users can copy, replace geometry or boundary conditions, and simulate internal flow, incompressible, steady, phase change for vapor (cavitation), with RAS turbulent models.
These Are some web-calculators supporting this template:
- Turbulent Boundary & Initial conditions
- Courant Number
- Mesh Generator
— Latest update, tensorvlv-25.1
Features
What we developed specifically for internal flow Valve simulation
Straightforward Meshing
Simply prepare your geometry, inlet, and outlet then you can generate your valve mesh
BCs Based on Valve Specs
Intuitive Boundary Conditions input with mass flow rate.
Cavitation Modeling
Cavitation template to predict the cavitation based on the local pressure and velocity
Transient Solver
Transient solver to make plot pressure and flow over time
