Coupled Fluid-Structure Model for Duckbill Valve Flow
Abstract
DuckBill Valves (DBV) are non-return axial water flow valves made of a fabric reinforced layered rubber material, and are widely used for large pipe diameter flows with low back pressures. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is directly involved in the opening process of the DBV, with the opening depending on the pressure differential across the valve. This paper presents an FSI simulation of the DBV opening process by using a Finite Element …
