DYNAMIC LOADS BY VARIOUS WATER HAMMER PHENOMENA Vladimir D. Stevanović Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade |

Abstract Water hammer phenomena can be induced both in one-phase and two-phase systems during pipelines transients. The basic mechanisms of fluid dynamics that lead to the water hammer are presented. Dynamic loads induced by several water hammer events are presented and analyzed. It is shown that water hammers in two-phase systems can lead to much higher pressure peaks than water hammers in one-phase systems. Keywords: water hammer, two-phase flow, condensation, numerical simulation |
