Abstract: Fluid transients in a pipeline caused by valve operation can be minimized by operating the valve in an optimally prescribed manner, in a given time of closure (t c > 2L /a ). Dynamic ...

Abstract: Hydraulic mining involves the erosion of a material with a high speed water jet. This technique can be applied to coal mining, tunnelling for high speed ground transportation systems and ...

Abstract: An inviscid analysis is conducted of two-dimensional flow between a flat plate pivoting about an external point and falling onto another plate at rest. The motion of the fluid between the two ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the reflection produced when a waterhammer pressure wave encounters any device that produces a sudden energy loss such as an orifice, a valve, or an elbow. The classical ...

Abstract: One of the objectives of this study was to reduce the undesirable dynamic pressure oscillation that occurs in a simple pipeline due to valve closure and to prevent the occurrence of column ...

Abstract: The control of stresses and liquid pressure surges in pipes is an important problem in the design of hydraulic pipe networks. The method of characteristics has been used to solve the transient ...
