Abstract
In the present study, numerical simulations of the flow in a three-dimensional axisymmetric poppet valve are conducted using a vortex method. The fluids are assumed inviscid and incompressible. The vibration of the poppet, supported by a spring and a dash pot, occurs in the axial direction in some range of parameters. The numerical simulations are carried out by varying systematically the parameters of the calculation, namely the supply pressure, the spring constant, the mass of the poppet and the conical angle of the poppet. The process of jet flow development, the fluctuations of the valve lift and the velocity distributions in the valve are investigated for the poppet vibrating.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
