On the Use of the Water Hammer Equations with Time Dependent Friction during a Valve Closure, for Discharge Estimation

The paper presents a new method for in site discharge estimation in pressured pipes. The method consists in using the water hammer equations solved with the method of characteristics with an unsteady friction factor model. The differential pressure head variation measured during a complete valve clo...
