Transient Compressible Flow in a Piping Network: A Solution Method and Computer Simulation

摘要

A general method of calculating the transient state of compressible fluid flow through complex piping networks has been developed and a computer program implementing this method has been written. This report presents the theory and logic upon which the solution method and program are based. It serves also as a basic introduction to the program, which is written for persons having minimal knowledge of the compressible flow theory.
