The present paper deals with the dynamic simulation of the fluid flow through reed valves and is concerned with a partitioned fluid-structure interaction coupling scheme. In this work attends the newly in-house implemented computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and moving mesh coupled code TermoFluids. The CFD solver consists of a three-dimensional explicit finite volume fractional-step algorithm formulated in a second-order, conservative and collocated unstructured grid arrangement. Large eddy simulation is performed to solve the turbulent flow, using the subgrid scale WALE model. A radial basis function interpolation procedure is used to dynamically move the mesh according with the displacement of the valve. A simplified geometry of an axial hole plus a rectangular diffuser with a piston based inlet condition is considered. The valve dynamics is modelled by means of the normal mode summation methodology and a coefficient of restitution is applied to model the impact between the valve and its seat. A parametric study is presented in order to analyze the influence of the valve thickness.
