Course Content
|
Description The course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of unsteady closed conduit flow. Building upon their steady flow knowledge acquired during their undergraduate studies, this course explores the complexities of fluid transients. Fluid transient problems in both space and time domains are solved focusing on the two dependent variables, pressure, and velocity. The governing equations using a control volume approach are derived and their algebraic forms based on the Method of Characteristics are presented. In addition, the potential for significant pressure wave peaks and the rapid propagation of these waves within the system are discussed by understanding the potential dangers they pose. Various control mechanisms such as surge tanks, air chambers, and more are also covered. The course aligns with doctorate level studies by advancing understanding of unsteady flow, fluid transients, pressure wave dynamics, and hydraulic control mechanisms.
