Abstract：A CFD numerical calculation model was established in order to study the flow field inside U-shaped throttle valve. The velocity, pressure drop and cavitation region in throttle with different groove depths were also obtained. The numerical results showed that the maximum pressure is located at the upstream of the flow channel and the minimum pressure is located at the downstream of the flow channel. The pressure drops a lot and a high-speed jet forms when the fluid passes through the throttle outlet. Under the same working conditions,with the increase of groove depth, the flow in the notch increases. This situation forces the oil to flow rapidly through the orifice, which results in a change in the direction of the jet.The angle of high-speed jet shows a decreasing trend, but the maximum flow rate of oil gradually increases. At the outlet of the throttle groove, cavitation occurs near the wall of the valve cavity, and with the depth of the groove increasesing, the internal pressure of the throttle notch is recovered slowly, the cavitation area increases gradually, and the strong cavitation area in the radial section gradually expands toward the center of the throttling tank.Therefore, a reasonable control of the U-groove depth or increasing the internal resistance of the throttle can effectively inhibit the occurrence of cavitation.
