In current research on deflector jet servo valves, the receiver pressure estimated using traditional two-dimensional simulation and theoretical calculation is always lower than the experimental data; therefore, credible information about the flow field in the prestage part of the valve can hardly be obtained. To investigate this issue and understand the internal characteristics of the deflector jet valve, a realistic numerical model is constructed and a three-dimensional simulation carried out that displays a complex flow pattern in the deflector jet structure. Then six phases of the flow pattern are presented, and the defects of the two-dimensional simulation are revealed. Based on the simulation results, it is found that the jet in the deflector has a longer core area and the fluid near the shunt wedge cannot resist the impact of the high-speed fluid. Therefore, two assumptions about the flow distribution are presented by which to construct a more complete theoretical model. The receiver pressure and prestage pressure gain are significantly enhanced in the calculations. Finally, special experiments on the prestage of the servo valve are performed, and the pressure performance of the numerical simulation and the theoretical calculation agree well with the experimental data. Finally, the internal mechanism described by the theoretical and numerical models is verified. From this research, more accurate numerical and theoretical models are proposed by which to figure out the internal characteristics of the deflector jet valve.
