[EN] 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 ...
[EN] Different methods of two-dimensional and three-dimensional numerical resolution models have been used to predict the air¿water interaction in pipe systems in the early twenty-first century, where reliable and adequate ...
