Optimization of flow impact to detect the defect factor on ball valve

Cavitation is a phenomenon which frequently creates fear within the engineering industry as the violent and critical attacks by cavitation can cause a lot of damage to ball valves. The damage in term of erosion, vibration and noise (e.g. water hammer) is a biggest challenge especially for the valve...
