Abstract

The design of surge protection devices is a practical issue for the management of pressurized pipeline systems. Depending on the flow status, dimension, material, and fluid properties of a particular pipeline, the generation of hydraulic transients and their interactions with surge protection devices have been explored considering different conditions for various pipeline systems. The resonance between the pipeline elements and surge energy absorption function of the hydraulic structure should be adaptively considered for each pipeline system. To comprehensively address surge generation and surge alleviating process, this study introduced dimensionless equations of fluid motion and continuity, and their solutions were developed in the dimensionless frequency domain. The impact of the surge tank, pressure accumulator, and its connector were also developed in terms of dimensionless operators. The impact of distinct flow conditions and pipeline properties was successfully addressed by an integrated parameter, dimensionless resistance, which also provided a unified condition for water hammer similarity in reservoir pipeline surge tank pipeline valve (RPSPV) systems. The development of dimensionless hydraulic impedance expressions along a pipeline system and its conversion into a response function provides a normalized pressure response in the dimensionless time domain. Excellent agreement was found between transient simulations using the developed method and those obtained using existing methods. The integration of a dimensionless approach into a metaheuristic engine provides a general platform for surge tank (ST) design in the comprehensive bounds of flow and pipeline conditions.
