    Hello BWhite, I do not have experience with those exact valve models, but I can provide some tips. The settings for a surge valve are indeed adjustable, to allow you to customize the valve to match the characteristics of the actual valve you need…

    Samir, It looks like you're referring to Bentley HAMMER. I believe you should be able to get the discharge coefficient from the valve manufacturer. If it's not available, you may be able to approximate it by back calculating the Cv from the orifice…

    Hello Ahmed, I would suggest trying both situations (one valve or two), then compare the results by closely examining graphs and profiles in the Transient Results Viewer (animating a profile path is a great start). This should show you if this arrangement…
