- Contents
- Fundamentals of numerical modelling of flow processes in pressurized pipes will be illustrated with regard to both steady- and unsteady-state processes.
- Reference texts
- Ghetti, A. (1996). Idraulica. Edizioni
Cortina (Padova). - Educational objectives
- To simulate properly the behavior of pressurized flow in steady and unsteady-state conditions.
- Prerequisites
- There is no prerequisite.
- Teaching methods
- The course is divided into lessons and exercises. If allowed, some practical applications will be take place at the Water Engineering Laboratory (WEL) of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
- Other information
- At the end of the course, summary lessons will take place.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam is oral.
- Extended program
- In the first part of the course, attention is focused on local and global continuity and momentum equations for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids. Within the 1-D approach, numerical models for simulating flow processes in pressurized pipe systems will be analyzed, with particular attention to energy dissipation phenomena. Successively, fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) will be given. Particular attention will be devoted to transient flow in both elastic and viscoelastic pipes (Kelvin-Voigt models). Functioning principles of measurement probes will be illustrated.
