Abstract
This paper explored the effectiveness of the inline technique-based re-design strategy in terms of pressure rise and drop attenuation and wave oscillation period spreading. Basically, this technique consists in replacing an inline short-section of the sensitive zone of the existing steel piping system by another one made of plastic pipe-wall material. Firstly, the 1-D unconventional water-hammer model combined with the Kelvin-Voigt and the Vitkovsky et al. formulations was solved by the Method of Characteristics. Secondly, the inline technique was implemented in a reservoir pipe valve hypothetical system. The plastic materials mentioned in this paper included high- and low-density polyethylene (HDPE) and (LDPE). Results illustrated the reliability of the proposed technique in attenuating excessive high- and low-pressure surges. However, they evidenced that this technique induced excessive period spreading, thus affecting negatively the operational procedures of the hydraulic system. Lastly, this study provided an estimate of the near-optimal values of the short-section diameter and length.
