In process industries, the most common control elements are valves. No matter what is the type of fluid, control valves are being used there is always at the risk of damage due to cavitation and flashing. Every year, millions of dollars are spent to mitigate the damage caused by cavitation erosion. The type of valve and operating conditions play a major role in whether the valve will cavitate or operate smoothly.

This is a demonstration of globe valve cavitation phenomena captured by simulationHub's valve CFD application. To know more details about the causes of cavitation, and current methods of determination of valve cavitation and how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) will help in minimizing it read the following blog. Briefly, it presents a short study on the identifying onset of valve cavitation on a DN100 globe valve using a cloud-based valve CFD software by simulationHub.
