The document discusses the simulation of flow control for a radial piston pump based on Simulink. It establishes the mathematical model of the pump and hydraulic cylinder and analyzes the system response under different loads and with the addition of a fuzzy PID controller.

The document derives equations (3)-(5) to model the continuity and forces within the hydraulic cylinder based on concepts like chamber volume, pressure, leakage, and piston area.

As shown in Figure 5, the system response time increases and overshoot decreases as the load increases from 10MPa to 30MPa.
