Popis: In the article the description of technique for simulation of valves for pneumatic-hydraulic system of liquid-propellant rocket engine (LPRE) is given. Technique is based on approach of computational hydrodynamics (Computational Fluid Dynamics – CFD). The simulation of a differential valve used in closed circuit LPRE supply pipes of fuel components is performed to show technique abilities. A schematic and operation algorithm of this valve type is described in detail. Also assumptions made in the construction of the geometric model of the hydraulic path of the valve are described in detail. The calculation procedure for determining valve hydraulic characteristics is given. Based on these calculations certain hydraulic characteristics of the valve are given. Some ways of usage of the described simulation technique for research the static and dynamic characteristics of the elements of the pneumatic-hydraulic system of LPRE are proposed.
