Protecting a Pumping Pipeline System from Low Pressure Transients by Using Air Pockets: A Case Study

This paper presents a case study of an existing water pipeline with five pumping stations each equipped with five pumps. In order to study the pipeline behavior prior to putting the system into operation, several transient simulations for different scenarios were developed. Results revealed that the...
