Abstract
As a fundamental consideration in hydraulic valve dynamics, transient laminar flow through a pipe orifice has been studied via numerical analysis. In the previous report the authors performed time-dependent calculation from the initial stationary state under a suddenly imposed pressure gradient, and pointed out that the dynamic behavior is characterized by two time constants. The present report treats the transient flow starting from an initial steady flow. Effects of the recirculating flow and the stretched contraction flow region are investigated in comparison with the previous result.
