One way Fluid valve with leaflets CFD help
 
3 Attachment(s)
i am building a one way fluid valve to prevent backflow of water. It has a cylindrical housing with 2 leaflets which open in one direction. I need to analyze the turbulence created by the fluid leaflet interaction as well as stresses on the leaflet hinge.

I have analysed flow over solid bodies before but i have never done the analysis of the interaction of the fluid with with an assembly.

I am using Salome for preprocessing with openfoam and paraview.
please suggest any software for preprocessing if you think it would be better than Salome

Here are some screenshots... Please ask for the CAD if you feel like taking a look at it
