Design and Analysis of Water Hammer Effect in a Network of Pipelines

Abstract

There will be a chance for the destruction of the system due to transient if it is not provided with adequate protection devices. Generally, transient takes place when parameters involving in conventional flow are distorted with respect to the time. Rapid closing of valve in a pipe network will be resulting into hydraulic transient known as water hammer occurs due to sudden change in pressure and velocity of flow with respect to time. Due to impulsive action, pressure surges are induced in the system travel along the pipe network with the rapid fluid acceleration leading to the dramatic effects like pipe line failure, damage to the system etc. Considering the importance of hydraulic transient analysis, we design a system capable of verifying pipe network containing fluid flow.This paper demonstrates design of different pipe structures in pipe line network and analysis of various parameters like excess pressure distribution, velocity variations and water hammer amplitude with respect to time using COMSOL Multiphysics v 4.3. The magnitude of water transient in pipe line network at different pressure points has been discussed in detail.
