Abstract: In this paper, the analysis of fast laminar transients in pressurized pipes is developed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, combined with the Zielke model and laboratory data. The systematic verification of ...

Abstract: The installation of hydropower plants equipped with pumps as turbines (PATs) in water supply systems has been demonstrated to be suitable and advantageous in order to both reduce pressure and recover energy. However, certain ...

Abstract: One of the primary concerns in water supply systems is pressure control. High pressure increases both leakage and the risk of pipes bursting, while low pressure can reduce the water supplied to consumers and allow the ...
