Wave Dynamics and Fluids
Governing
equations of 1-D unsteady-compressible
pressurized hydraulics:
Momentum:
Continuity:
5
Fundamental Assumptions
1. Uniform, 1-D, and axisymmetric flow
2. Isothermal environment
3. Single-phase fluid
4. Pressurized conditions
6
Modeling Approaches
Three key modeling approaches, each with different
additional simplifying assumptions and trade-offs
7
Waterhammer Models
Assume that the advective terms , , and are
negligible
Simulate unsteady-compressible flows
Simplified governing equations:
Momentum:
Continuity: Pair of
hyperbolic
PDEs
8
Rigid Water Column Models
Simulate unsteady-incompressible flow
, where
9
Quasi-Steady Models
Simulate quasi-steady flow
, where
10
Which Model to Use?
Waterhammer models:
Consider compressibility effects, fluid inertia, and friction
Complex and require more computational effort
Quasi-steady models:
Simple and readily implemented
Assumption of slow changes often invalid
Trade-Off
Accuracy Efficiency
11
Model Comparison
Consider a slow valve closure operation for a
reservoir-valve-reservoir system:
OR
Hybrid models:
Solve:
where
17
Other Ongoing Research
Mixed flow conditions (i.e., free surface and
pressurized hydraulics)
Unsteady energy dissipation
Leak and obstruction detection via waves
Coupled 1-D and 3-D models
18
Models, Models, Models
Why does this matter?
Appropriate model selection
Interpretation of results
Understand a system
Higher-level concepts:
Looking at vs. looking along a model
Underlying assumptions: are they reasonable? Valid?
Accuracy-efficiency trade-off
19
Key Takeaways
1. Model selection AND underlying physics
2. Consider both the application of a model as
well as the model itself
20
Ultimately
there will always be trade-offs as responsible
modelers, we must balance accuracy (quality),
efficiency (time), and complexity (cost) accordingly
