2. MODELLING OF VALVES
2.1 Turbulent orifice
2.1.1 Volume flow as a function of pressure drop
Because in fluid power systems orifices mostly work clearly in turbulent region the modelling of
this field is essentially important. In Fig. 32a) laminar and 32b) turbulent flow through the sharpedged orifice is represented
33
(2.1)
In circular orifices the distance of vena contrata from the orifice is around the half of the orifice
diameter.
The pressure drop needed to accelerate fluid particles in jet from lower velocity to higher can be
calculated by using the Bernoullis equation as follows, Eq. (2.2)

w2 w1 =
( p1 p2 )
(2.2)
(2.3)
A 2
w2 = 1 2
A1
1 / 2
( p1 p2 )
(2.4)
Due to viscous friction the velocity of jet is slightly lower than velocity calculated by using Eq.
(2.4). To take this influence into account the empirical velocity coefficient Cv is used. Its value is
normally close to 0.98 which is used in calculations. Because the volume flow in vena contrata
point is
34
Q = A2 w2
Q=
Cv A2
A
1 2
A1
( p1 p2 )
(2.5)
Since it is easier to use the physical orifice diameter instead of vena contrata area then Eqs. (2.1)
and (2.5) can be combined to Eq. (2.6)
Q = C d A0
( p1 p2 )
(2.6)
Cd =
Cv Cc
2
1 Cc ( A0 / A1 ) 2
(2.7)
Since C v 1 and A0 is normally much smaller than A1, the discharge coefficient can be assumed
to be equal to contraction coefficient.
In laminar area when the square root of Reynolds number is smaller than 10, the discharge
coefficient is a function of Reynolds number as follows.
Cd = R

Pressures acting in volumes can then be solved from Eq. (2.23) by integrating the derivatives of
pressures during the simulation run. For every volume between different components in fluid
power circuit this equation is written. The pressure acting in volume can also be solved using
alternative method, i.e. by integrating the volume compressed by volume flows.

In Eqs. (2.25) and (2.26) the pressure p0 and volume V0 are the initial values. Alternatively, also
the mass flow can be integrated. By multiplying Eq. (2.24) partly by density then for the
compressed mass is derived.

(2.41)
Adiff is the area which moves to under the influence of pressure p1 from under the influence of
pressure p2 while valve is opening. Naturally this is only an approximation since the pressure
distributes uneven at the orifice. In simplified analysis it is assumed that when the normal of
spool surface is drawn from the sharp edge of the seat then above that line there reigns pressure
p2 and below it reigns pressure p1

From Eq. (2.44) the damping pressure can be solved as a function square of pressure p2 and spool

using step function.

After the static solution is attained the pressure p1 as a function of volume flow Q1 is plotted. The

Fig. 61 shows the forces acting in the spool. By assuming the inertial force of the spool
negligible, then the force equation becomes as Eq. (2.77).

Because the volume between pressure compensator and main throttle is small, then the use of
compressible flow equation would lead into numerical problems in integration of pressure p1.
Instead of that we cancel pressure p1 out of the flow equation of main orifice, Eq. (2.93) as
follows
2
Let us mark k x = C d Dx
and
k t = C d At
And then promote both sides of Eq. (2.93) by square. By carrying out this we get
k x ( p s p1 ) = k t

By simulating the system of equations (2.96), (2.100) and (2.75), x and p2 can be solved by

As a result the static nominal chart is achieved when k1 is alternated smoothly while Qe2 is held
as zero by the directional control valve.
In Fig. 66 the response of the volume flow Q1 is plotted as a function of pressure drop ps p2
using different set values for the cross-sectional area of measuring throttle At

If valve is asymmetric, thus the model is same but with the difference that in equations of orifice
flows the diameters of throttling edges of spool are different, e.g.DA, DB etc.
If valve to be modelled is proportional directional valve, then for flow cross-section areas the
triangular grooves are typically used. Thus, in model, Eq. (2.110), Ax = Dx is replaced by

The accumulator consists of cylindrical pressure vessel and the bladder which is mounted in the
vessel. Bladder is highly flexible and normally is made out of rubber. The rubber is filled with
nitrogen gas and the gas pressure set the preload of accumulator. The orifice in Fig. 80 describes
the connection of which the fluid is directed through coming from or going to the fluid power
circuit.
In modelling of pressure accumulator the component is divided into separate volumes as it
appears also in real component. During the inflow the volume of gas compresses as the volume
of oil increases and the gas pressure increases. During the outflow the high gas pressure forces
the gas volume to expand and causes the volume flow out the vessel. At the same time gas
pressure decreases and accumulator is again prepared for the next loading.
The volume flow into or out from the accumulator is calculated using Eq. (2.120).

simulation model.

Example: Characteristic values according to Fig. 86 are given by manufacturer for certain
proportional directional control valve. The nominal flow QN of the valve (i.e. the maximum at
full valve opening) is 24 L/min at pressure drop of 35 bar. Define parameters Cv and )

current is achieved when U=10V. It gives rated flow Q=24l/min through the valve with pressure
