Transient analysis for gravity system - Sensibility of valve minor loss coefficient
Greta Gil
Hello. I am trying to model a transient to analyse a gravity system. The first analysis I wanna do is when I close a butterfly valve which is initially 100% open with a flow of 989,00 L/s. I modeled the butterfly valve as a FCV of valve type user…

Pressure dependent demand and Hammer transient simulation
Youssef Al Fahham
Hello, How does Hammer treat an active PDD alternative in a transient simulation? Is PDD only for WaterGEMS EPS or is it also applicable to Hammer for transient analyses? Regards, Youssef
