This course discusses the physical aspects of surge and other fluid transients in pipeline systems. Surge and fluid transients are a daily occurrence in all liquid pipeline systems. In most cases, the magnitude of fluid transients is low enough to avoid damage to the system. However, surge and fluid transients are almost always present during serious pipeline accidents. It is therefore a requirement of DOT Part 195 that all pipeline systems be protected against the detrimental effects of surge.
This is not a course on the various computer programs used to analyze fluid transients. It is very important that the engineer understand the actual physical manifestations of surge before attempting to use a computer program for assessment. Understanding the mechanisms behind surge will allow the engineer to better analyze the computer results.
The goal of this course is to provide the engineer a basic understanding of surge and transient occurrences. Many real-world examples are included and discussed.
