Comprehensive modeling of a deflector jet pressure servo valve and analysis of key influences on the front stage

The deflector jet pressure servo valve (DJPSV), a critical component of the aircraft brake servo system, requires a precise foundational model for performance analysis, optimization, and enhancement. However, the complexity of the jet process within the V-groove of the deflector plate presents challenges for accurate mathematical modeling. To address this issue, the paper takes the DJPSV as the research object, carries out detailed mathematical modeling of its components, analyzes the influencing factors of the performance of the key component—the front stage—and optimizes the design of the key factors. First, integrating FLUENT velocity field analysis, this study proposes a novel perspective to rationally simplify and parametrically model the injection process in 3D space. Subsequently, a systematic deduction of the mathematical model for DJPSV is undertaken. Employing the AMESim platform and the secondary development module AMESet, a comprehensive simulation model is constructed, facilitating the study of static-dynamic valve characteristics. Additionally, utilizing the Morris theory and an intelligent algorithm, sensitivity analysis, and structural optimization on the critical component, the pre-stage. The results reveal that the width of the receiving diverter wedge (M), the width of the V-groove outlet (b1), and the distance from the V-groove outlet to the receiving diverter wedge (h) exert the most significant influence on the differential pressure of the pre-stage, which are the key parameters affecting the output differential pressure of the pre-stage. The experiment verifies the accuracy of the simulation model, offering a vital theoretical foundation for valve development and related areas.
