Abstract: The cavitation flow in the channel, which is the prototype of the control valve cage, has been studied. The average fields of velocity, pressure, and vapor volume fraction obtained by the RANS method by means of open source CFD software OpenFOAM are in good agreement with the data obtained in the other CFD solve — Ansys Fluent. A computer code was implemented that made it possible to obtain a large number of configurations of the geometry of the control valve cage, for which RANS calculations were carried out in order to form a comprehensive database.

Keywords: cavitation, RANS, control valve cage. .
