Effects of orifice sizes for uncontrolled filling processes in water pipelines
(2022-03-12)
The sizing of air valves during the air expulsion phase in rapid filling processes is crucial
for design purposes. Mathematical models have been developed to simulate the behaviour of air valves during filling processes ...
Simplified mathematical model for computing draining operations in pipelines of undulating profiles with vacuum air valves
(2020-09-11)
The draining operation involves the presence of entrapped air pockets, which are expanded during the phenomenon occurrence generating drops of sub-atmospheric pressure pulses. Vacuum air valves should inject enough air to ...
Emptying operation of water supply networks
(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 ...
Analysis of hydraulic transients during pipeline filling processes with air valves in large-scale installations
(2020-04-13)
During the filling process in pressurized hydraulic systems, sudden pressure changes generated inside the pipes can cause significant damage. To avoid these excessive overpressures, air valves should be installed to allow ...
Experimental and numerical analysis of a water emptying pipeline using different air valves
(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 ...
Effect of a commercial air valve on the rapid filling of a single pipeline: A numerical and experimental analysis
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The filling process in water pipelines produces pressure surges caused by the compression of air pockets. In this sense, air valves should be appropriately designed to expel sufficient air to avoid pipeline failure. Recent ...
Effect of the non-stationarity of rainfall events on the design of hydraulic structures for runoff management and its applications to a case study at Gordo Creek watershed in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia
(MDPI AG, 2018)
The 24-h maximum rainfall (P 24h-max ) observations recorded at the synoptic weather station of Rafael Núñez airport (Cartagena de Indias, Colombia) were analyzed, and a linear increasing trend over time was identified. ...
Quasi-static flow model for predicting the extreme values of air pocket pressure in draining and filling operations in single water installations
(2020)
Inertial models have been used by researchers to simulate the draining and filling processes in water pipelines, based on the evolution of the main hydraulic and thermodynamic variables. These models use complex differential ...
