Journal ArticleDOI

A Review of Water Hammer Theory and Practice

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of both historic developments and present research and practice in the field of hydraulic transients, including mass and momentum equations for one-dimensional flows.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extended thermodynamics derivation of energy dissipation in unsteady pipe flow

TL;DR: Extended irreversible thermodynamics (EIT) provides a framework for deriving extensions to phenomenological equations (e.g., Newton's law of viscosity, Fick's law and Darcy's law for porous media flow) for problems involving high frequencies (i.e., rapid transients).
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling Low Velocity/High Dispersion Flow in Water Distribution Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the effect of dispersive processes on the transport of chlorine in a water distribution system during periods of low flow and show that dispersive effects may become important if the velocities are significantly decreased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient Valve Representation in Fixed-Grid Characteristics Method

TL;DR: In this article, a unified set of boundary conditions is proposed to represent the majority of valve and orifice devices found in water supply, transmission, and distribution systems. Butler et al. proposed a combination of elements, termed a pipe replacement element/valve-in-line (PREVIL), to model a wide range of control-valve/short-pipe combinations.
