This study specifies the flow control characteristics of a flow control valve(FCV) in a submerged cargo pumping system through experiments and simulations. In the experiments, the functions of the major components of the FCV in relation to the FCV's flow characteristics are presented clearly. Through the simulations, it is shown that the simulation program suggested in this study can be utilized for the design of the FCV.
