Abstract
En 中文
This paper designs a new type of safety valve suitable for ultra-supercritical conditions and analyzes its flow field characteristics through numerical simulation. The safety valve features a valve seat design based on the Laval principle, ensuring that the steam velocity at the outlet reaches supersonic speeds, thereby enhancing discharge efficiency. Using CFX software, in conjunction with a turbulence model and steady-state simulation techniques, an in-depth analysis of the fluid characteristics within the valve was conducted. The results show that under different pressure levels and valve openings, fluid characteristics such as pressure distribution and Mach number exhibit consistency. At the valve outlet, a distinct supersonic flow region was observed, verifying the superior pressure relief capacity of this safety valve design.
