Abstract

This paper provides a feasibility study regarding experimental PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) measurements in order to determine a velocity map of the flow developed across the hydraulic shock absorber intake valve. The velocity map is required to validate and calibrate a CFD/FSI model, which is intended to assess the risk of occurrence of aeration/cavitation phenomena. The model allows to reduce the risk at the shock absorber design stage by means of virtual prototyping. The paper presents the developed hydraulic experimental setup and image processing algorithms in order to obtain a velocity map. The initial test results are briefly reported.
