Hello,
how could I model area change in bentley hammer ?
Is there any method rather than splitting pipe? does pipe splitting do better simulation for Wave Reflection and Transmission at an expansion and a contraction?
Hello Mohamed,
To model an increase in pipe diameter, you would indeed need to split the pipe with a junction, as a single pipe can only have one diameter. The Method of Characteristics used by the HAMMER numerical solver will properly simulate wave reflection.
