Ball Check Valve

Application ID: 69401


Using a Fluid-Solid Interaction multiphysics interface, the behavior of a spring-loaded ball check valve is studied under varying functional and reverse flow. The fluid force acting on the ball opens the valve at the opening pressure. In the case of a reversed pressure, the ball comes into contact with an O-ring, thus preventing the fluid from flowing in the reverse direction. A remeshing technique is used to accurately resolve the fluid domain between the parts getting into contact.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
