WATER HAMMER

This case study demonstrates the capability of Flownex® to simulate the water hammer effect by simulating the sudden closure of a valve at the outlet of a long pipe in which water is flowing. In practice, this closure could be facilitated by a fasting acting valve or similar device. The model takes the fluid and pipe wall elasticity into account.
Flownex® SE can easily perform similar simulations in complex networks.
