.ThermofluidStream.FlowControl.SpecificValveType

Information

This valve models the behavior of specific valve types.

The technical type of the valve can be chosen (e.g. sliding valve). The characteristic curve is then set accordingly from a table for the zeta (flow resistance) values dependent on the valve opening.

To conclude the parameterization, a flow coefficient has to be set. Most data sheets of valves deliver a corresponding "KVs (CVs)"-Value. Otherwise a nominal mass-flow rate or a flow-diameter can be set.

For incompressible flow, the reference values for density (1g/cm3) and pressure (1bar) should be unchanged.
