In the flow control valve used in the upper or the lower stream of a turbomachinery, when opening is small, the self-induced oscillation resulting from a clearance gap flow may occur. In this study, the mechanism of self-induced oscillation which occurs on the small valve opening condition was examined. And a concept to control the self-induced oscillation was built. The air model test of the flow control valve was carried out, and it was confirmed that self-vibration occurs under specific conditions. Moreover, stability evaluation using CFD was carried out, and it checked that the calculation results become the almost same tendency as a test results. The area where the instability force is generated on a valve was grasped from the simulation results, and it checked that stability was changed with flow field differences. Based on these results, stabilization of the flow control valve was attained by improving clearance gap geometry of the valve sheet area. It checked that the intended flow field was obtained in the geometry in CFD analysis, and it confirmed that fluid additive damping became positive in CFD.
