Water Hammer: create one way surge tank

Input data

Scenario

Name

Water level

Cross section area

Head loss coefficient

Output data

Scenario

Description

This calculation allows for the creation of a one-way surge tank (OWST) within a water hammer scenario, used to mitigate the effects of pressure surges in the pipeline. An OWST helps control water flow and balance sudden pressure variations in a water distribution system.
