W artykule zaprezentowano rezultaty obliczeń numeryczną mechaniką płynów (CFD) charakterystyki zaworu kulowego. Porównano rezultaty obliczeń metodami równań domykających k- oraz z wykorzystaniem symulacji wielkich wirów LES. Przeprowadzono również analizę numeryczną problemu kawitacji w zaworze kulowym. Uzyskane charakterystyki pokrywają się z danymi eksperymentalnymi. Obliczenia numeryczne CFD mogą mieć zastosowanie w optymalizacji kształtek profilowych oraz redukcji zużycia erozyjnego elementów zaworu.

In the paper there are presented the results of numerical calculations of the ball valve characteristics with use of the computational fluid dynamics. The calculations were carried out with use of the hypothesis of turbulent flows, the k- and simulations of large vor-texes (DS LES). The flow patterns in and downstream the ball valves with respect to different valve openings are visualized using the computational fluid mechanics Fluent commercial code. The CFD procedure was validated on the basis of the experimental data obtained by other authors. The valve applied in industry is shown in Fig. 1. The numerical grids were prepared in the Gambit preprocessor. Fig. 2 presents the view of the numerical grid for valve in the sample 10, 30, 75o angle closure for the valve whose main dimensions are given in Fig. 3. The calculation results are local physical flow fields inside the valve. For example, the velocity vector fields in the valve crossection are shown in Fig. 4. The CFD calculation results were used for calculating the valve characteristics. They are presented in Fig 5a. The figure shows the measured and calculated values of the flow resistance factor and cavity index compared with the measurement results obtained by other authors. Fig. 5b shows the comparison of the data from literature [13] with the results of numerical calculations using different turbulence models. In that figure there is presented the modelling of the single phase and two phase gas-liquid mixture. The obtained characteristics coincide with the experimental data which allows using that method for optimising the profile shapes when applying the numerical iterative correction. The calculation results for two-phase flows are shown in Fig. 6. In that picture there are presented the cavitation zones for which the volumetric concentration of water vapour is greater than 10%. The results of theoretical predictions were found to be in general agreement with those obtained from calculations within the acceptable level of accuracy.
