Abstract: In the present paper, some peculiar characteristics of transient laminar flow are discussed. After presenting a review of the existing literature, attention is focused on transient energy dissipation ...

Abstract: Partial blockages commonly exist in pressurized pipeline systems, and the rapid remediation of such faults is required to reduce the wastage of energy as well as to maintain the serviceability of the pipe network. Numerous ...

Abstract: In the last two decades, energy dissipation in unsteady-state pressurized pipe flow has been examined by various authors, where the instantaneous wall shear stress is split into a quasi-steady and an unsteady shear stress ...

Abstract: Transients in pressurized polymeric pipes are analyzed by means of a two-dimensional (2D) Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model, calibrated by means of a microgenetic algorithm on the basis of pressure traces. The reliability ...
