Analysis of air flow formation in a nozzle valve

Objective. To accurately assess the impact of ventilation systems on the acoustic environment of a room, it is necessary to determine the length of the vortex zone that forms as the air flow passes through throttling devices. The article examines the results of modeling a nozzle valve with a variabl...

description Objective. To accurately assess the impact of ventilation systems on the acoustic environment of a room, it is necessary to determine the length of the vortex zone that forms as the air flow passes through throttling devices. The article examines the results of modeling a nozzle valve with a variable cross-section during its opening and closing processes. Method. The analysis of airflow formation scenarios at various positions of the control diaphragm was performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the Ansys Fluent software package. Result. As the cross-sectional flow area decreases, a sharp local increase in airflow velocity is observed, along with the formation of vortex zones and reverse flows resulting from the ejection effect. Conclusion. The presence of complex turbulent flows in the ventilation network leads to increased sound pressure levels and noise penetrating the serviced space. Significant deviations from the recommended maximum velocity, depending on the valve opening scenario, highlight the importance of considering throttling devices in acoustic calculations. Analyzing the length of the flow stabilization section enables optimal placement of the nozzle valve, preventing the vortex zone from breaking up due to the combined influence of local resistances (air distribution devices, tees, bends, and constant airflow valves). To reduce the risk of increased noise, it is recommended to position the nozzle valve on a straight duct section, with a length of at least one duct diameter before and three duct diameters after the throttling device.
