A Review of Numerical Modeling of Internal Flow, Cavitation, Erosion, and Flow-induced Vibration in Hydropower Valves
Hydropower valves operate under transient, high-pressure conditions in which local throttling, pressure recovery, vortex evolution, and pressure pulsation govern hydraulic performance, cavitation, erosion, and flow-induced vibration. This review synthesizes recent advances in numerical modeling of these coupled phenome...
