Abstract

This study is devoted to a theoretical and numerical modeling of velocity profiles and shear stress in hydraulic transient of Newtonian and laminar flow in pipe. It is based on the expansion of the instantaneous velocity profiles of the flow in polynomial series of radial variable across the section of pipe. It is based on the Prado’s model. The set partial derivatives equations obtained from the conservation of mass and the theorem of momentum is then solved by the method of characteristics. This model is validated against the experimental results of Holmboe et al., and Vardy et al.. It may be incorporated in any code using the method of characteristic to simulate water-hammer in pipe.
