Resumen
Gas fuel control valves play important roles in the control of gas flow in high-precision gas turbines. To clarify the influence of coupling between the structure and the fluid system, a thermal fluid?solid coupling mechanism is presented based on numerical investigations carried out using a dynamic mesh technique. Valve core deformation can affect the outlet gas flow accuracy. At 2% valve opening, the gas temperature contributes 93% to the deformation. The effect of deformation on the flow accuracy at 6% valve opening and 4% valve opening is increased by 4.8% and 7.3%, respectively. The fluctuation range of the gas temperature and pressure in front of the valve should be strictly controlled to ensure the high precision and high stability of the outlet flow. These results help to clarify the processes that occur in the valve flow path, leading to the flow control instability observed in the control valve.
