Abstract
Although the globe is the most typical valve to control high pressure drop in piping system, it is very hard to figure out the characteristics of flow field in the globe valve caused by its complex geometry, So there is very few studies to find out flow characteristics of globe valve. In this study numerical analysis for flow field in the globe valve is carried out using the FLUENT code which is commercial CFD program. Pressure drop through the globe valve is also measured to verify the results come from numerical analysis. Comparing experiment with numerical analysis, two results are very close to each other.
