Determination of hydrodynamic and vibroacoustic characteristics of a shut-off valve by hybrid engineering method

New technologies are a significant factor in improving the efficiency of industrial enterprises. Traditional design methods do not fully meet the needs for technological equipment. A promising direction is hybrid engineering, which combines physical and virtual approaches into a unified process. The basis of this approach is reverse engineering and numerical modeling. The article illustrates the implementation of hybrid engineering through the example of creating a check valve. The results of laser scanning of the parts are presented, with the advantages and disadvantages outlined. The results of the hybrid approach to numerical modeling for noise level prediction are also provided. The necessity for further research to accumulate practical experience, reliable statistical information, verification and validation results, and a knowledge base has been identified. It is confirmed that hybrid approaches are the most promising for accelerated design and prediction of characteristics, allowing the identification of design flaws at an early stage and enabling optimization to meet the specified requirements if necessary.
