Abstract – In the present study the pressure drop
characteristics of two types of check valve namely swing
plate and dual plate check valve have been analyzed using
CFD under varying conditions of operations. The CFD
software ANSYS FLUENT has been used. Themethodology is
validated by identifying proper method of discretization of
flow domain and selection of suitable turbulence model.
As a first step the analysis is carried out using 2D
approximation the values of co-efficient of pressure (CP),co-
efficient of drag (CD), permanent pressure loss co-efficient
(CL) and minimum pressure (Pmin) are calculated for both
types of valves at various angles of openings for a fixed
Reynolds number of 105. It is observed that the dual plate
check valve gives lesser pressure drop. The effect of
Reynolds number at valve opening of 450 also has been
studied for range of Re from 1 to 105. The flow through two
valves is analyzed with 3D geometry. In the case of swing
plate check valve 3 different diameters of namely 0.9D, 0.8D
and 0.7D are considered. For all these cases effect of angle
opening is studied at Re= 105. Further at an opening of 450
effect of Reynolds number isstudied. Thevaluesofminimum
pressure for each case are calculated to identify the
possibilities of cavitation. It is observedthatdual platecheck
valve is much superior in terms of pressure drop and
minimum pressure characteristics. Further for swing plate
check valve the optimum is observed to be at 0.8D.
Key Words: Computational Fluid Dynamics, swing plate

1. INTRODUCTION
Check valves are the mechanical devices that are used to
regulate the flow of the fluidinunidirectional (onedirection)
path and stop the reverse flow of the fluid in the other
direction. They are also called as unidirectional valves, Non-
Return valves.
Swing Plate Check Valve
The main purpose of using a check valve is to prevent fluid
flow from travelling in the upstream direction. A swingplate
check valve works accordingly by letting a hinged disc close
against a valve seat. So when the force applied on the disc
caused by the pressure distribution is not large enough to
overcome the weight of the disc. Swing plate check valvehas
the longest closing time, Because of its high inertia of the
closing disc, and also due to the long distance to travel until
the valve is completely closed.
Fig -1: swing plate check valve
Dual Plate Check Valve
The dual plate check valve is a one-directional orNon-return
valve which is efficient with less weight and small size when
compared to other conventional check valves. Here the two
check plates are being controlled by thespring whichisfixed
to central pin. When the flow rate increments the check
plates starts to open, whereas when the fluid flow reduces
the dual plates starts to close by the action of torsion spring
and also to avoid the flow reversal.

Adarsh k m et.al [1] carried numerical simulation of flow
through two types of valves namely dual plate check valve
and butterfly valve and was for various opening conditions.
Methodology is validated by using k-ɛ model by analyzing
the developing flow through circular pipe. The value of
pressure loss coefficient (cp) and drag force coefficient (cd)
has been evaluated at various openings and Reynolds
number. It is observed that values of pressure loss
coefficient (cp) and drag force coefficient (cd) are lower in
case of dual plate check valve.
Martin Turesson et.al [2] investigated and compared three
different RELAP5 swing check valves models to the
corresponding CFD simulations. The first model is the built-
in description of a swing check valve in RELAP5, while the
other two are models based on either another 1D code
named DRAKO or on quasi-stationary CFD simulations. All
three of these models are shown to under-predict the time
for closure and thus also the maximum reverse velocity.
Three different valve sizes have been simulated together
with four different flow transients and they all show the
same behavior.
EMIL BOQVIST et.al [3] in hismaster’sthesishasstudiedthe
static and dynamic characteristics of a typical swing check
valve since this type of valve causes very highloadingswhen
slamming due to backward flow. Performing both steady
state CFD- and transient FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction)-
calculations, with the disc able to move with the flow, in
ANSYS FLUENT on a swing check valve will yield daily
operating pressure losses and the dynamic behavior of the
closing disc.
Scope of the Present Study
 In our present study CFD has been utilized in order
to analyze the flow of fluid through dual plate check
valve and swing plate check valve.
 Analysis is carried out for various disc positions
(valve openings) and Reynolds number. The
variation in both laminar and turbulent regime is
analyzed.
 The change in pressure loss co-efficient (Cp),
permanent pressure loss co-efficient (CL), and co-
efficient of drag (CD) with valve openings at various
Reynolds numbers are being analyzed and the
characteristics of the two valves are compared.
 With the help of minimum pressure cavitation
characteristics are compared.

4 THREE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF FLOW THROUGH
CHECK VALVES
In order to match the variations with that of the practical
usage we are now going to perform the fluid flow analysis of
the 3D swing plate and dual platecheck valveusingvalidated
CFD methodology. Since the analysis performed is 3D, the
results that obtained give quantitate output. We can also
analyze the practical problems that are caused during
experiment conducted. We can achieve closest possible
results for co-efficient of pressure (CP), co-efficient of drag
(CD) which is observed in practical cases. We can also
analyze the minimum pressure (Pmin) formed at various
valve angle opening which can cause cavitation, if the
pressure reduces below that of the vapour pressure. The
present chapter gives the details about the3Danalysismade
and results obtained for 3D flow domain.

free to rotate about the center so as to simulate the opening
of the valve. In order to ensure that the flow at the valvediscs
is undisturbed as well as boundary conditions do not affect

Discretization of the 3D flow domain of dual plate check
valve
The 3D flow domain of the dual plate check valve is
discretized using triangular mesh elements. Fine mesh is
chosen near the wall to achieve accuracy of computation in
boundary layer. On the wall region boundary layer meshing
of programmed inflation is incorporated of 10 - 15 layers
having growth rate of 1.2 or 1.1 depending on the geometry.
The meshing details of the fluid domain are shown in the
figure 5.4.The figure 5.5 Shows region of fine mesh around
the valve plate. The concentration of inflation layer on the
surface of pipe is shown in figure 5.6. According to the
results obtained in the validation of CFD methodology K- ε

Table-6: Results for 3D Analysis of Flow through Dual
Plate Check Valve for Various Valve Openings at
Re=105
The above results shown in the Table 6 gives an idea that as
the valve opening increases the pressure drop gradually
decreases. Due to which the co-efficient of pressure also
reduces. As said previously pressure drop adds to the major
part of the drag force with the viscous forces added by the
fluid in small quantity. The computed value of the drag force
in the analysis would be slightly higher when compared to
the drag force calculated theoretically. This is because the
viscous force adds up in the computed results. Hence in 3D
cases we can observe much lowco-efficientofpressuredrop,
which means to say that the energy lost is minimal during
large valve opening angles.

The above Fig-8 and Fig-9 shows velocity vector and

Chart-1: Variation in Permanent Pressure Loss Co-Efficient
With Valve Opening
From the above Chart-1 we can observe the variation of
permanent pressure loss co-efficient (CL) with respect to
valve opening angle during the 3D analysis of dual plate
check valve. The loss occurred here is only due to the loss of
energy by the two semicircular discs. Generally permanent
pressure loss co-efficient should always be less than that of
the pressure loss co-efficient (CP) this is because of the
pressure recovery that occurs once it reaches past the valve
discs.

Below the valve discs lowest possible pressure is observed,
which is reason forthe cavitation to occur in the valve. Asthe
valve openingincreasesfromminimumtomaximumeventhe
value of minimum pressure reduces. In order to avoid the
cavitation to occur in the valves we need to make sure that
the minimum pressure does not go below the vapour
pressure.in the above Chart-2 the minimum pressure is in
terms of the standard absolute pressure.
Effect of Reynolds Number
In order to study the effect of Reynolds number on the
characteristics of the valve, the valve opening angle is kept
fixed to 500 and Reynolds number is varied from 1 to
100000. This variation consists of both laminar and
turbulent regime.

Table-7: 3D Analysis of Flow through Dual Plate Check
Valve by Varying Re at Valve Opening Angle Of 500
From the Table-7 it is evident that at low Reynolds number
the pressure drop and pressure loss co-efficient are very
high due to the contribution of the high viscous forces And
also the permanent pressure loss co-efficient (CL) also
decreases as the Reynolds number increases. Whentheflow
changes from laminar to turbulent regime we can observe
very low or stagnant pressure drop as well asthepermanent
pressure loss co-efficient because the viscous forces are
nullified.
4.2 THREE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSISOFFLOWTHROUGH
SWING PLATE CHECK VALVE
The swing plate check valve has the limitation that the disc
diameter (d) has to be less than that of the tube diameter(D).
If the disc diameter is equal to the tube diameter than the
valve will not move at all. A simple geometrical calculation
will show that disc diameter (d) is equal to 0.9D then the
maximum valve opening will be 500. If disc diameter is equal
to 0.8D then the maximum valve opening will be 700. For full
valve opening of 900 or more the tube diameter has to be
equal to 0.7D. Hence the analysis has been carried for three
flow geometries having discdiameter of 0.9D,0.8D,and0.7D.
In eachcase a circular ring with whole diameter of 0.9D,0.8D
and 0.7D are provided for the valve to rest when fully closed.
Hence in the case of swing plate check valve the pressure
drop will be due to the combined effect of ring as well as disc.

discretized using triangular mesh elements. On the wall
region boundary layer meshing of programmed inflation is
incorporated of 10 - 15 layers having growth rate of 1.2 or
1.1 depending on the geometry. The meshing details of the
fluid domain are shown in the fig-12 according to the results

Optimum results were observed in the case of 0.8D hinge
diameter, when we considered the co-efficient of pressure
(CP). When weconsider the drag force co-efficient(CD)better
results were observed in case of 0.7D hinge diameter. The
permanent pressure loss co-efficient (CL) relatively gives
better results as in case of geometry having 0.8D hinge
diameter.

The vapour pressurevarieswith that of the temperature.For
a particular temperature in which the valve is working there
will be specific vapour pressure where we are going to study
the minimum absolute pressure formed for each valve
opening angle of swing plate check valve for all the three
hinge diameters (0.9D, 0.8D and 0.7D). We are analyzing the
minimum pressure in order to find which opening of the
valve is more prone to the cavitation. That is if the minimum
pressure formed lies below that of the vapour pressure than
the cavitation occurs, if cavitation increasesthanthelifespan
of the valve reduces and the valve surface gets ware.

The above table-13 indicatestheresultsobtainedforboththe
valves at their maximum opening angle. Here we are
comparing all the parameters that we had considered in
order to conclude which check valve gives better results and
which is most suitable to use in practical applications. From
the table 5.13 it is evident that for every parameter we had
considered, it might be either pressure loss co-efficient (cp),
drag force co-efficient (cd), permanent pressure loss co-
efficient (cl) or minimum pressure (pmin) the 3D dual plate
check valve gives better results from all other flow domain
that we had considered. Hence it is better to use dual plate
check valve than the swing platecheck valve forthe practical
purpose andalso the tendency toformcavitationislessinthe
case of dual plate check valve. Due to which the life span of
the dual plate check valve is more and the valve surface does
not get ware that easily.
5 CONCLUDING REMARKS
The specific conclusions and results were drawn for various
aspects of study was discussed in the earlier chapters
mentioned. Hence general brief conclusions are given here.
 The validated CFD methodology is used to
accurately analyze the flowthroughswingplateand
dual plate check valves. However, it is important to
look for suitable meshing near the wall as well as
around the valve for accurate results and most
suitable turbulence model is utilized. K-ε Standard
turbulence model is used with scalable wall
functions was found to be the most suitable for this
type of problems.
 The methodology is validated by analyzing flow
through circular duct and proper mesh is selected
by conducting mesh independence test and by
considering suitable turbulence model for various
proper boundary conditions, which can be further
used for analysis of two dimensional and three
dimensional swing and dual plate check valves.
 For the analysis of three dimensional swing plate
check valve a supportive hinge is provided with
three different diameters of 0.9D, 0.8D 0.7D. for all
the three geometries results were obtained and itis
concluded that the valve disc havinghingediameter
of 0.8D gives better results for all the parameters
considered (CP, CD, CL and Pmin).
 Three dimensional dual plate check valve is
analyzed and results were obtained by varying the
valve opening anglesandvaryingReynoldsnumber.
 On comparison of the results obtained for both the
valves it is concluded that the swing plate check
valve gives higher pressure loss co-efficient and
minimum pressure obtained is also low in this case
which have a high tendency to cavitate. Hence
application of dual plate check valve is suggested
over swing plate check valve

Tech. Student, Thermal Power Engineering, MIT-Mysore, Karnataka, India 2Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIT-Mysore, Karnataka, India 3Professor (Emeritus), Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIT-Mysore, Karnataka, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract – In the present study the pressure drop characteristics of two types of check valve namely swing plate and dual plate check valve have been analyzed using CFD under varying conditions of operations. The CFD software ANSYS FLUENT has been used. Themethodology is validated by identifying proper method of discretization of flow domain and selection of suitable turbulence model. As a first step the analysis is carried out using 2D approximation the values of co-efficient of pressure (CP),co- efficient of drag (CD), permanent pressure loss co-efficient (CL) and minimum pressure (Pmin) are calculated for both types of valves at various angles of openings for a fixed Reynolds number of 105. It is observed that the dual plate check valve gives lesser pressure drop. The effect of Reynolds number at valve opening of 450 also has been studied for range of Re from 1 to 105. The flow through two valves is analyzed with 3D geometry. In the case of swing plate check valve 3 different diameters of namely 0.9D, 0.8D and 0.7D are considered. For all these cases effect of angle opening is studied at Re= 105. Further at an opening of 450 effect of Reynolds number isstudied. Thevaluesofminimum pressure for each case are calculated to identify the possibilities of cavitation. It is observedthatdual platecheck valve is much superior in terms of pressure drop and minimum pressure characteristics. Further for swing plate check valve the optimum is observed to be at 0.8D. Key Words: Computational Fluid Dynamics, swing plate check valve, dual plate check valve, pressure loss co- efficient, Permanent Pressure loss Coefficient, drag force co-efficient, minimum Pressure, cavitation. 1. INTRODUCTION Check valves are the mechanical devices that are used to regulate the flow of the fluidinunidirectional (onedirection) path and stop the reverse flow of the fluid in the other direction. They are also called as unidirectional valves, Non- Return valves. Swing Plate Check Valve The main purpose of using a check valve is to prevent fluid flow from travelling in the upstream direction. A swingplate check valve works accordingly by letting a hinged disc close against a valve seat. So when the force applied on the disc caused by the pressure distribution is not large enough to overcome the weight of the disc. Swing plate check valvehas the longest closing time, Because of its high inertia of the closing disc, and also due to the long distance to travel until the valve is completely closed. Fig -1: swing plate check valve Dual Plate Check Valve The dual plate check valve is a one-directional orNon-return valve which is efficient with less weight and small size when compared to other conventional check valves. Here the two check plates are being controlled by thespring whichisfixed to central pin. When the flow rate increments the check plates starts to open, whereas when the fluid flow reduces the dual plates starts to close by the action of torsion spring and also to avoid the flow reversal. Fig-2: dual plate check valve 2. LITERATURE SURVEY 2.1 Literature Review The study of the nature of swing plate check valve and dual plate check valve on the flow field is studied by many research scholars. The methodology, assumptions, discretization techniques and results from their work are discussed below. Here thefluidisincompressible,steadyand Newtonian in nature.

International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 04 Issue: 08 | Aug -2017 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2017, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 5.181 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 899 Adarsh k m et.al [1] carried numerical simulation of flow through two types of valves namely dual plate check valve and butterfly valve and was for various opening conditions. Methodology is validated by using k-ɛ model by analyzing the developing flow through circular pipe. The value of pressure loss coefficient (cp) and drag force coefficient (cd) has been evaluated at various openings and Reynolds number. It is observed that values of pressure loss coefficient (cp) and drag force coefficient (cd) are lower in case of dual plate check valve. Martin Turesson et.al [2] investigated and compared three different RELAP5 swing check valves models to the corresponding CFD simulations. The first model is the built- in description of a swing check valve in RELAP5, while the other two are models based on either another 1D code named DRAKO or on quasi-stationary CFD simulations. All three of these models are shown to under-predict the time for closure and thus also the maximum reverse velocity. Three different valve sizes have been simulated together with four different flow transients and they all show the same behavior. EMIL BOQVIST et.al [3] in hismaster’sthesishasstudiedthe static and dynamic characteristics of a typical swing check valve since this type of valve causes very highloadingswhen slamming due to backward flow. Performing both steady state CFD- and transient FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction)- calculations, with the disc able to move with the flow, in ANSYS FLUENT on a swing check valve will yield daily operating pressure losses and the dynamic behavior of the closing disc. Scope of the Present Study  In our present study CFD has been utilized in order to analyze the flow of fluid through dual plate check valve and swing plate check valve.  Analysis is carried out for various disc positions (valve openings) and Reynolds number. The variation in both laminar and turbulent regime is analyzed.  The change in pressure loss co-efficient (Cp), permanent pressure loss co-efficient (CL), and co- efficient of drag (CD) with valve openings at various Reynolds numbers are being analyzed and the characteristics of the two valves are compared.  With the help of minimum pressure cavitation characteristics are compared. 3 CFD METHODOLOGY AND VALIDATION Methodology There are lots of selection criteria that we need to choose when we opt for CFD analysis, like approximating the geometrical structure, selection of proper technique for discretization, various boundary conditions, and flow assumptions.

Since the analysis performed is 3D, the results that obtained give quantitate output. We can also analyze the practical problems that are caused during experiment conducted. We can achieve closest possible results for co-efficient of pressure (CP), co-efficient of drag (CD) which is observed in practical cases. We can also analyze the minimum pressure (Pmin) formed at various valve angle opening which can cause cavitation, if the pressure reduces below that of the vapour pressure. The present chapter gives the details about the3Danalysismade and results obtained for 3D flow domain. 4.1 Three Dimensional Analysis of Flow through Dual Plate Check Valve As a basic step computations are performed for 3D flow domain, assuming certain boundary conditions and to analyze parameterslike pressurelossco-efficient, dragforce co-efficient, permanent pressure loss co-efficient, minimum pressure.

It consists of a 3D duct having a diameter of 50 mm (D). Two semi-circular valve discs is placed inside the duct it is free to rotate about the center so as to simulate the opening of the valve. In order to ensure that the flow at the valvediscs is undisturbed as well as boundary conditions do not affect the computationsa straightlengthof5Dofupstreamand10D of downstream are included as shown. Here the thickness of the valve plate is taken as 3mm. the other geometrical parameters are listed in table 4 Fig-6: Three Dimensional Isometric Flow Domain of Dual Plate Check Valve Having Symmetry PARAMETERS DIMENSIONS Length of the duct 0.75 m Upstream straight length 0.25 m Downstream straight length 0.5 m Upstream pressure tap distance 0.15 m Downstream pressure tap distance 0.4 m diameter of valve discs 0.025 m Width of the duct 0.025m Thickness of the valve disc 0.003 m Table-4: Geometric Parameters of the 3D Flow Domain of Dual Plate Check Valves Discretization of the 3D flow domain of dual plate check valve The 3D flow domain of the dual plate check valve is discretized using triangular mesh elements. Fine mesh is chosen near the wall to achieve accuracy of computation in boundary layer. On the wall region boundary layer meshing of programmed inflation is incorporated of 10 - 15 layers having growth rate of 1.2 or 1.1 depending on the geometry. The meshing details of the fluid domain are shown in the figure 5.4.The figure 5.5 Shows region of fine mesh around the valve plate. The concentration of inflation layer on the surface of pipe is shown in figure 5.6. According to the results obtained in the validation of CFD methodology K- ε model has been used for turbulence flows with scalable wall function. The number of elements used is in the range of 400000 to 900000 depending on various cases.

Analysis of flow through 3D dual plate check valves at nine angle openings namely 100, 200 up to 900 have been made. For those analyses Re is kept constant as 105. At Ɵ=450 the analysis has been made at various Renamely 1, 10, 100…etc. thus the range is covered. In both laminar and Turbulent cases the value of , U, H are keptconstantnamely kg/m3,U=2m/s,D=0.05m.

Due to which the co-efficient of pressure also reduces. As said previously pressure drop adds to the major part of the drag force with the viscous forces added by the fluid in small quantity. The computed value of the drag force in the analysis would be slightly higher when compared to the drag force calculated theoretically. This is because the viscous force adds up in the computed results. Hence in 3D cases we can observe much lowco-efficientofpressuredrop, which means to say that the energy lost is minimal during large valve opening angles.

Chart-1: Variation in Permanent Pressure Loss Co-Efficient With Valve Opening From the above Chart-1 we can observe the variation of permanent pressure loss co-efficient (CL) with respect to valve opening angle during the 3D analysis of dual plate check valve. The loss occurred here is only due to the loss of energy by the two semicircular discs. Generally permanent pressure loss co-efficient should always be less than that of the pressure loss co-efficient (CP) this is because of the pressure recovery that occurs once it reaches past the valve discs.

Asthe valve openingincreasesfromminimumtomaximumeventhe value of minimum pressure reduces. In order to avoid the cavitation to occur in the valves we need to make sure that the minimum pressure does not go below the vapour pressure.in the above Chart-2 the minimum pressure is in terms of the standard absolute pressure. Effect of Reynolds Number In order to study the effect of Reynolds number on the characteristics of the valve, the valve opening angle is kept fixed to 500 and Reynolds number is varied from 1 to 100000. This variation consists of both laminar and turbulent regime.

Whentheflow changes from laminar to turbulent regime we can observe very low or stagnant pressure drop as well asthepermanent pressure loss co-efficient because the viscous forces are nullified. 4.2 THREE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSISOFFLOWTHROUGH SWING PLATE CHECK VALVE The swing plate check valve has the limitation that the disc diameter (d) has to be less than that of the tube diameter(D). If the disc diameter is equal to the tube diameter than the valve will not move at all. A simple geometrical calculation will show that disc diameter (d) is equal to 0.9D then the maximum valve opening will be 500. If disc diameter is equal to 0.8D then the maximum valve opening will be 700. For full valve opening of 900 or more the tube diameter has to be equal to 0.7D. Hence the analysis has been carried for three flow geometries having discdiameter of 0.9D,0.8D,and0.7D. In eachcase a circular ring with whole diameter of 0.9D,0.8D and 0.7D are provided for the valve to rest when fully closed. Hence in the case of swing plate check valve the pressure drop will be due to the combined effect of ring as well as disc. 3D Flow Domain of Swing Plate Check Valve Fig-10: Flow Domain Of 3D Swing Plate Check Valve Having Valve Disc Diameter Of 0.9D Fig-11: Vertical Symmetry of the 3D Swing Plate Check Valve Showing the Valve Opening From the Bottom of the Hinge.

On the wall region boundary layer meshing of programmed inflation is incorporated of 10 - 15 layers having growth rate of 1.2 or 1.1 depending on the geometry. The meshing details of the fluid domain are shown in the fig-12 according to the results obtained in the validation of CFD methodology K- ε model has been used for turbulence flows with scalable wall function.

We are analyzing the minimum pressure in order to find which opening of the valve is more prone to the cavitation. That is if the minimum pressure formed lies below that of the vapour pressure than the cavitation occurs, if cavitation increasesthanthelifespan of the valve reduces and the valve surface gets ware. 4.3 Comparison of Various Characteristics of 3D Swing Plate Check Valve and Dual Plate Check Valve Parameters considered Dual plate check valve Swing plate check valve at d= 0.9D Swing plate check valve at d= 0.8D Swing plate check valve at d= 0.7D Co-efficient of pressure 0.4648 5.8812 2.1076 4.0368 Co-efficient of Drag 0 3.480 0.5030 0 Permanent pressure loss co-efficient 0.1937 5.570 1.7135 3.4618 Minimum pressure 96510 87860 94029 91380 Table-13: Comparison Of Various Characteristics Like Pressure Loss Co-Efficient (CP), Drag Force Co-Efficient (CD), Permanent Pressure Loss Co-Efficient (CL) And Minimum Pressure(Pmin) For Both The Valves At TheirMaximumValve Opening. The above table-13 indicatestheresultsobtainedforboththe valves at their maximum opening angle. Here we are comparing all the parameters that we had considered in order to conclude which check valve gives better results and which is most suitable to use in practical applications. From the table 5.13 it is evident that for every parameter we had considered, it might be either pressure loss co-efficient (cp), drag force co-efficient (cd), permanent pressure loss co- efficient (cl) or minimum pressure (pmin) the 3D dual plate check valve gives better results from all other flow domain that we had considered. Hence it is better to use dual plate check valve than the swing platecheck valve forthe practical purpose andalso the tendency toformcavitationislessinthe case of dual plate check valve. Due to which the life span of the dual plate check valve is more and the valve surface does not get ware that easily. 5 CONCLUDING REMARKS The specific conclusions and results were drawn for various aspects of study was discussed in the earlier chapters mentioned. Hence general brief conclusions are given here.  The validated CFD methodology is used to accurately analyze the flowthroughswingplateand dual plate check valves. However, it is important to look for suitable meshing near the wall as well as around the valve for accurate results and most suitable turbulence model is utilized. K-ε Standard turbulence model is used with scalable wall functions was found to be the most suitable for this type of problems.  The methodology is validated by analyzing flow through circular duct and proper mesh is selected by conducting mesh independence test and by considering suitable turbulence model for various proper boundary conditions, which can be further used for analysis of two dimensional and three dimensional swing and dual plate check valves.  For the analysis of three dimensional swing plate check valve a supportive hinge is provided with three different diameters of 0.9D, 0.8D 0.7D. for all the three geometries results were obtained and itis concluded that the valve disc havinghingediameter of 0.8D gives better results for all the parameters considered (CP, CD, CL and Pmin).  Three dimensional dual plate check valve is analyzed and results were obtained by varying the valve opening anglesandvaryingReynoldsnumber.  On comparison of the results obtained for both the valves it is concluded that the swing plate check valve gives higher pressure loss co-efficient and minimum pressure obtained is also low in this case which have a high tendency to cavitate. Hence application of dual plate check valve is suggested over swing plate check valve
