A check valve is a critical flow control component, to prevent severe damage due to pressure surge or backflow in the pipeline. FLOW-3D HYDRO is a great tool to analyze how the valve behaves when encountering such a situation. In this simulation, the plunger has been defined as a moving object with a counter force oriented against the flow direction. The graphs on the bottom give us some insight on the plunger displacement, pressure spike and resulting cavitation. Learn more about FLOW-3D HYDRO: flow3d.com/products/flow-3d-hydro
