[EN] The risks associated with unsteady two-phase flows in pressurized pipe systems must be considered both in system design and operation. To this end, this paper summarizes experimental tests and numerical analyses that ...
Fanelli, Michele; Cabrera Marcet, Enrique(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016-01)
From a linearized form of the equations of unsteady (transient) motion in an open channel of uniform cross section using the well-known technique of the characteristic lines, it is shown that under a set of not-too-restrictive ...

[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 ...
[ES] Debido a las bolsas de aire que hay en el interior de las tuberías durante los procesos de llenado y vaciado, se producen depresiones o sobrepresiones en el interior de las mismas, capaces de producir serios daños en ...

[EN] Water filling processes in pipes generate overpressures that must be considered so that the facilities do not fail during their operation. The filling manoeuvres with air trapped in water pipes have been studied by ...
Grisales Morales, David Eduardo(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-11-15)
[ES] Las operaciones de llenado y vaciado, el aire disuelto bajo condiciones normales de operación de una conducción o las roturas, crean bolsas de aire que producen problemas críticos a lo largo de la conducción capaces ...
Manzi, D.; Brentan, B. M.; Meirelles, G.; Izquierdo Sebastián, Joaquín; Luvizotto Jr., E.(MDPI AG, 2019-11)
[EN] A large volume of the water produced for public supply is lost in the systems between sources and consumers. An important-in many cases the greatest-fraction of these losses are physical losses, mainly related to leaks ...
[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 ...
[EN] When designing hydroelectric power plants it is fundamental to simulate the system behavior in unsteady conditions following a total
load rejection. The main objective of this simulation is to define wicket gates ...
[EN] Air pockets generated during emptying operations in pressurized hydraulic systems cause
significant pressure drops inside pipes. To avoid these sudden pressure changes, one of the most
widely used methods involves the ...
