The Numerical Simulation of Three-Dimensional Dynamic-Mesh Flow Field of a Hydraulic Buffer

In order to study the dynamic changes of the internal flow field physical quantities in the hydraulic buffer of a special equipment, based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), a three-dimensional incompressible and viscous model under unsteady condition is created. The model keeps the control rod of varying diameter and non-working chamber cover, simulates the turbulent in the flow field of the hydraulic buffer of the special equipment with dynamic meshing technology. From the results, the distributions of velocity in flow field and pressure in chamber are got. It shows that there are negative pressure areas in the non-working chamber and that will lead to cavitation. The results give us a great reference to improve the structure of hydraulic buffer.
