area change modeling

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.
