Influence of velocity head on filling transients in a branched pipeline
Abstract
Purpose The velocity head is usually neglected in the energy equation for a pipeline junction when one-dimensional (1D) hydraulic transient flow is solved by method of characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of velocity head on filling transients in a branched pipeline by an energy equation considering velocity head. Design/methodology/approach An interface tracking method is used to locate the air–water …
