Hi dear friends
I am modeling flow through a butterfly valve in a pipe .i have used a symmetry boundary condition splitting the pipe into half and also a velocity inlet and a pressure outlet .i was wondering what happens to the results like torque acting on butterflye valve's disk? Does cfx calculates torque for whole disk or just reports the torque for just half of disk? What about the pressure loss across the valve? I actually want to calculate the hydrodynamic torque coefficient according to following formula

Ct=T/(delta P*D^3)

Should I multiply the torque which gained in CFX-post bye 2?what about pressure?
