Preventing Pump Failure: Transient Pressure Analysis in Water Systems

Australian Water School via YouTube

Overview

Explore the critical issue of pump failure and transient pressures in water systems through this 44-minute webinar. Learn to evaluate pump operation and conduct transient analysis to prevent catastrophic pipe bursts and implosions. Watch a live demonstration using SURGE modelling software to simulate transient responses in irrigation systems and water supply distribution networks. Gain insights into dangerous transient pressures and effective mitigation techniques essential for water authorities worldwide. Cover topics including water hammer, the Joukowsky equation, column separation, transient simulation, gate valves, and surge pressure amplitude. Equip yourself with the knowledge to ensure a safe water supply and prevent costly damage to infrastructure.
