Calculation

Velocity in valve

$$v_{max}=\cfrac{4\cdot 10^6\cdot Q_{max}}{π\cdot D^2}$$

Theoretical pressure in the valve at full opening

$$Δ_h=\cfrac{v_{max}^2}{2\cdot g}\cdot \left({\min\left(ζ\right)}+1\right)$$

Pressure parameter

$$p=\cfrac{Δ_h}{H}$$

$$0 < p \le 1$$

Effective closing time factor

$$c_{ef}=\cfrac{\cfrac{1}{18}}{\max\left(\left(Q_p\right)[1]-\left(Q_p\right)[2], \left(Q_p\right)[2]-\left(Q_p\right)[3], \left(Q_p\right)[3]-\left(Q_p\right)[4], \left(Q_p\right)[4]-\left(Q_p\right)[5], \left(Q_p\right)[5]-\left(Q_p\right)[6], \left(Q_p\right)[6]-\left(Q_p\right)[7], \left(Q_p\right)[7]-\left(Q_p\right)[8], \left(Q_p\right)[8]-\left(Q_p\right)[9], \left(Q_p\right)[9]-\left(Q_p\right)[10], \left(Q_p\right)[10]-\left(Q_p\right)[11], \left(Q_p\right)[11]-\left(Q_p\right)[12], \left(Q_p\right)[12]-\left(Q_p\right)[13], \left(Q_p\right)[13]-\left(Q_p\right)[14], \left(Q_p\right)[14]-\left(Q_p\right)[15], \left(Q_p\right)[15]-\left(Q_p\right)[16], \left(Q_p\right)[16]-\left(Q_p\right)[17], \left(Q_p\right)[17]-\left(Q_p\right)[18], \left(Q_p\right)[18]-\left(Q_p\right)[19]\right)}$$

$$c_{ef}\le 1$$

Under-pressure behind the valve

$$P_{u}=\max\left(-\cfrac{L\cdot v_{max}}{g\cdot t\cdot c_{ef}}, -\cfrac{p_{air}}{ρ\cdot g}\right)$$
