Waterhammer Evaluation and
Surge Suppression Methods
Date: February 22, 2023
Time: 1:00 p.m. (EST)
PDH Credits: 1
Overview
This webinar is a continuation of the Hydraulic Institute’s waterhammer webinar series. This webinar encompasses three parts, the first being a review of the physics behind surge including the causes and key equations for quantifying. The second portion will guide those in attendance on when and how to evaluate a system for surge using examples from computer surge modeling. After having a general understanding of the first two portions of the webinar, an attendee will be able to better understand surge mitigation solutions and which options are more or less suitable for a particular type of surge. In all, an overview of the following topics will be reviewed: Joukowsky Equation, wave speed, communication time, high frequency monitoring, computer modeling including a brief discussion on the differences between Method of Characteristics (MOC) and Wave Characteristics Method (WCM), low vs high pressure transients, system design changes and suppression equipment.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify common equations in surge physics
- Understand the "when and how" of evaluation of surge within a system
- Identify options for mitigating surge, including system design changes and surge suppression equipment
