A valve is provided for controlling a flow of a fluid between a first
environment and a second environment. The valve includes a frame adapted
to fit within a perimeter of an aperture in a divider separating the
first environment from the second environment. The valve additionally
includes a first gate movable within the frame to control a flow of the
fluid through the aperture between the first environment and the second
environment. The first gate includes a substantially aerodynamically
clean surface substantially free from protrusions disrupting the flow of
the fluid over the first gate surface. Additionally, the first gate
includes a trailing edge having a baffle adapted to cover an aft edge of
the frame when the first gate is positioned to have a small opening
angle. The baffle includes a plurality of 3-D notches in a front side of
the baffle. The valve further includes a second gate movable within the
frame to control a flow of the fluid through the aperture between the
first environment and the second environment. The second gate also
includes a substantially aerodynamically clean surface substantially free
from protrusions disrupting the flow of the fluid over the second gate
surface. Additionally, the second gate includes a trailing edge
comprising a plurality of 3-D notches in a front side of the trailing
edge.
