Abstract

Water hammer control in water supply pipeline systems is significant for protecting pipelines from damage. The goal of this research is to investigate the effects of pumps moment of inertia design on pipeline water hammer control. Based on the method of characteristics (MOC), a numerical model is established and plenty of simulations are conducted. Through numerical analysis, it is found that increasing the pumps moment of inertia has positive effects both on water hammer control as well as preventing pumps rapid runaway speed. Considering the extra cost of space, starting energy, and materials, an evaluation methodology of efficiency on the increasing moment of inertia is proposed. It can be regarded as a reference for engineers to design the moment of inertia of pumps in water supply pipeline systems. Combined with the optimized operations of the valve behind the pumps, the pipeline systems can be better protected from accident events.
