Abstract: Any transient event in a pipeline system is an energy process, implying that the dynamic response can be interpreted and analyzed through energy transfer between different forms, including potential (internal), kinetic, ...

Abstract: This study investigates the energy relations and dissipations in viscoelastic pipeline under fluid transients. The investigation is carried out analytically using energy analysis and Fourier transform ...

Abstract: An efficient quasi-2D numerical waterhammer model for turbulent waterhammer flows has been previously developed for a single pipe system (reservoir-pipe-valve system). Basic boundary conditions, ...

Abstract: A non-intrusive fault detection technology for real time condition assessment of pipelines is highly desirable for pipeline operators and the use of artificially induced fluid transients for this purpose has been the topic ...

Abstract: Systematic transient analysis in water supply systems is intended to determine the reliability of water supply and the integrity of hydraulic devices when hydraulic transients (i.e., water hammers) occur. In the analysis, ...

Abstract: Urban water distribution systems (WDSs) are often skeletonized to enable efficient system analysis and management. While different methods are available to account for transient dynamics within the skeletonization processes, ...

Abstract: In this paper, the transient behavior of a single-branch pipe system (Y-system) is analyzed by means of numerical experiments in which a wide range of branch characteristics (i.e., size, location, and operating ...

Abstract: Air pockets entrapped in pipeline systems are required to be non-intrusively diagnosed by fluid transients. In this study, experimental investigations are used to compare the transient transmission and reflection effects ...
