Summary: | A valve (10) for controlling a flow of a fluid between a first environment (E1) to a second environment (E2) is provided. The valve (10) includes a fra me (14) that fits within an aperture (18) in a divider (22) separating the firs t environment from the second environment. Additionally, the valve includes at least one gate (30) mounted and movable within the frame (14) to control a flow of the fluid between the first environment and the second environment through the aperture (18). The gate (30) includes a surface (5), wherein at least one portion of the surface includes a rough texture (70). The rough texture (70) reduces coherent vortex shedding of the fluid as the fluid pass es over the gate surface (5). |
