• Rigid water column model for simulating the emptying process in a pipeline using pressurized air 

      Coronado Hernández, Óscar Enrique; Fuertes Miquel, Vicente S.; Iglesias-Rey P.L.; Martínez-Solano F.J. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2018)
      This paper presents a mathematical model for analyzing the emptying process in a pipeline using pressurized air. The rigid water column model (RWCM) is used to analyze the transient phenomena that occur during the emptying ...
    • 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 ...
    • Transient phenomena during the emptying process of a single pipe with water–air interaction 

      Fuertes Miquel, Vicente S.; Coronado Hernández, Óscar Enrique; Iglesias-Rey P.L.; Mora-Meliá D. (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019)
      Emptying pipelines can be critical in many water distribution networks because subatmospheric pressure troughs could cause considerable damage to the system due to the expansion of entrapped air. Researchers have given ...
