Water hammer

Hello!

 

I try to simulate water hammer in pipeline with two valves. The simulation works fine if both of the valves close at the 0 time step, but i have e.g 20ms time difference between the closes(now we don't care about the closing velocity, it's infinitly fast). So somehow i have to define this delay between them.

I've tried to do this with use the time curves when i define the transient boudary condition. The defined value doesen't follow the function what i gave.

My system looks like this:

12121212.jpg

 

Valve 1 closes at 0 s.

Valve 2 closes 20ms later, the predifed velocity-time curve:

v2.jpg

The velocity change at valve 1:

ki1.jpg

The velocity change at valve 2:

ki2.jpg

As you can see, the closure happens at the same time, no matter what i defined earlier.

Please give me ideas how can i implement/simulate this 20 ms delay!

 

Thanks a lot!

Attila

Finaly solved.

after SS run->giving the valve1 closing TR boundari condition->transient run from 0s to 20ms->giving the valve2 closing TR boundari condition->continue transient run as long as you want

Hello sirkoattila and everyone who can help me.

You said that "giving the valve1 closing TR boundari condition" Which boundary condition must I choose to give closing valve?

Thank you all.

I would say, velocity = 0, is really the only way.

 

This is all a good suggestion for the Idea Station
