Nonconservative Formulation of Unsteady Pipe Flow Model

摘要

A new approach to numerical modeling of water hammer is proposed. An unsteady pipe flow model incorporating Brunone's unsteady friction model is used, but in contrast to the standard treatment of the unsteady friction term as a source term, the writers propose a nonconservative formulation of source term. Second-order flux limited and high order weighted essentially nonoscillating numerical schemes were applied to the proposed formulation, and results are in better agreement with measurements when compared with results obtained with standard form.
