• Emptying operation of water supply networks 

      Coronado Hernández, Óscar Enrique; Fuertes Miquel, Vicente S.; Angulo-Hernández, F.N. (MDPI AG, 2017)
      Recently, emptying processes have been studied in experimental facilities in pipelines, but there is a lack regarding applications in actual pipelines, which permits establishing the risk of collapse because of sub-atmospheric ...
    • Experimental and numerical analysis of a water emptying pipeline using different air valves 

      Coronado Hernández, Óscar Enrique; Fuertes Miquel, Vicente S.; Besharat M.; Ramos, H.M. (MDPI AG, 2017)
      The emptying procedure is a common operation that engineers have to face in pipelines. This generates subatmospheric pressure caused by the expansion of air pockets, which can produce the collapse of the system depending ...
    • Hydraulic modeling during filling and emptying processes in pressurized pipelines: a literature review 

      Fuertes Miquel, Vicente S.; Coronado Hernández, Óscar Enrique; Mora-Meliá D.; Iglesias-Rey P.L. (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019)
      Filling and emptying processes are common maneuvers while operating, controlling and managing water pipeline systems. Currently, these operations are executed following recommendations from technical manuals and pipe ...
    • Subatmospheric pressure in a water draining pipeline with an air pocket 

      Coronado Hernández, Óscar Enrique; Fuertes Miquel, Vicente S.; Besharat M.; Ramos H.M. (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018)
      An air pocket’s behaviour inside of a pipeline during transient conditions is of great importance due to its effect on the safety of the hydraulic system and the complexity of modeling its behaviour. The emptying process ...
