Abstract: A uniformly accelerated laminar flow in a pipe, initially at rest, is analyzed. The acceleration increases the critical Reynolds number remarkably. New experimental findings are used to describe ...

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: Calibration is a process of comparing model results with field data and making the appropriate adjustments so that both results agree. Calibration methods can involve formal optimization methods or manual methods in which ...
