[EN] 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. ...
[EN] Emptying pipelines can be critical in many water pipelines because subatmospheric pressure troughs are reached due to the expansion of entrapped air, which could cause considerable damage to the system depending on ...

[EN] A filling operation generates continuous changes over the shape of an air¿water interface, which can be captured using a 3D CFD model. This research analyses the influence of different hydro-pneumatic tank pressures ...

[EN] 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 ...
[EN] 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 ...
