 Abstract. The article models the phenomenon of cavitation in ANSYS Fluent and examines the cavitation characteristics of a wedge gate valve. As a result, the experiment determined the beginning of cavitation and the maximum pressure drop that can be applied to the valve without its subsequent destruction.
