A valve having improved inherent flow characteristics, improved noise characteristics, and improved dynamic torque characteristics is provided. The valve includes a disk for controlling fluid flow inside the valve. The disk has a first vane and a second vane disposed relative to the first vane. In accordance with one embodiment, the second vane is disposed along an axis extending from a pivot point of the disk. In such an embodiment, the first vane is disposed offset from the second vane. The first vane and the second vane can be substantially parallel. The valve further includes an upstream indentation for dynamic torque reduction and can include noise and cavitation reducing features on a downstream side of the disk and/or an indentation for dynamic torque reduction in case of a fluid flow reversal.
