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