There are plenty of one-dimensional (1D) simulation tools for unsteady flow estimation being some of them able to present good results in monophasic flows, while almost all of them are not suitable for two-phase flows. In this research, an experimental apparatus including valves, pipes and an air vessel is used to fulfil the experiments. A mathematical formulation and a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (2D CFD) model have been used to predict the extreme conditions. Results show that 1D model is able to predict pressure values with acceptable accuracy. However, the 2D CFD model can be used to detect the specialized problems in a system by providing very high range of the information. © BHR Group 2018 Pressure Surges 13Recurso electrónicoapplication/pdfenghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectAir vesselCFDPressure surgeWater hammerComputational fluid dynamicsEstimationHydraulic equipmentOne dimensionalWater hammerAir vesselExperimental apparatusExtreme conditionsHydraulic systemMathematical formulationMonophasic flowPressure surgesPressure valuesTwo phase flowinfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessAtribución-NoComercial 4.0 InternacionalUniversidad Tecnológica de BolívarRepositorio UTB5720542020257193337460560742827005719311302335568240000
