“…Regarding the methods for calculating the effective ranges of the design parameters of control valves, two approaches are most widespread: analytical estimation (Arzumanov, 1971(Arzumanov, , 1985Blagov, 1990) using the Pi-Buckingham theorem (Buckingham, 1915;Misic et al, 2010) or numerical modeling for gaseous (Bian et al, 2019a,b;Cao and Bian, 2019) and liquid (Qu et al, 2015;Hou et al, 2017;Rudolf et al, 2017;Qiu et al, 2019;Tang et al, 2019) environments using ready-made software products (Ansys Inc, 2013. Moreover, the first approach requires a wide experimental base, and the second requires a long adaptation of the software product to the main factors influencing the course of the studied processes, including cavitation (Knapp et al, 1970;Franc and Michel, 2005;Xu et al, 2015), in a specific design.…”
