  Numerical Model for Water Hammer in Homogeneous Equilibrium Two Phase Fluid

  By R.K. Singh, A. Rama Rao

  Abstract: Generally, water hammer can occur in any thermal-hydraulic systems. Rapid closing or opening of a valve causes pressure transients due to the sudden transformation of kinetic energy into the potential energy. The resulting high pressure surge upstream of the valve leads to the temporary increase in pressure. If the increased pressure surpasses the safety margin for the pipe, it can lead to failure of the pipeline. A mathematical model is …
