Abstract: A number of different methods that use signal processing of fluid transients (water hammer waves) for fault detection in pipes have been proposed in the past two decades. However, most of them focus solely on the detection ...

Abstract: Emptying of an initially water-filled horizontal PVC pipeline driven by different upstream compressed air pressures and with different outflow restriction conditions, with motion of an air-water front through the pressurized ...

Abstract: This study presents the results from detailed experiments of the two-phase pressurized flow behavior during the rapid filling of a large-scale pipeline. The physical scale of this experiment is close to the practical ...

Abstract: Air expulsion from an end-of-pipe orifice in a rapidly filling horizontal pipe is investigated experimentally and analytically in order to more completely characterize the system’s transient response. In particular, images ...
