Proposal for Optimization of Spool Valve Flow Force Based on the MATLAB-AMESim-FLUENT Joint Simulation Method

This paper focuses on the open-center multi-way valve used in loader buckets. To solve the problem of excessive flow force that leads to spool clamping in the reset process, joint simulations adopting MATLAB, AMESim, and FLUENT were carried out. Boundary conditions play a decisive role in the results of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ...More
