Solution Flyer: Pressure waves losing their scare, from San Diego to Temelin

Pressure waves travelling through a pipe network can have dramatic effects, ranging from pump defects to catastrophic pipeline failures. These so-called transient events might further have significant water quality and health implications.

Whether under standard or emergency scenarios – DHI helps to ensure safe design and operations with its Hydraulic Transient Analysis Tool, recently added to our extensive suite of modelling tools.

Giving some examples: In San Diego, USA, our Hydraulic Transient model ensures the safety and satisfaction of more than 3 million residents. In Czech Republic, DHI conducted a hydraulic transient analysis of the cooling water system of the nuclear power plant Temelin.

Thanks to DHI’s tailor-made, fast and proved numerical solution, hydraulic transients become a predictable and often avoidable factor in pipe network management.

Read our new flyer on Hydraulic Transient Analysis for more details.

DHI carries an enormous library of various hydraulic and surge protection devices as well as a variety of transient sources to be included in the models.
