In this study, the effect of a flange on the compensation of flow force in the main poppet valve of the hydraulic semi-active damper has been studied via numerical simulation. First, validity of the numerical analysis was confirmed by comparison between the computational and experimental results. Then, the mathematical models for the flow force acting on the poppet valves both with or without flange for converged flow were obtained based on the computational results. Introducing these mathematical models to the equivalent model of the whole semi-active damper system in the previous paper, the effects of the flow force on the stability of the damper system were investigated. As the result, the flange improves the stability of the system when the pressure difference and the main valve displacement are relatively large.
