Exploring the Sensitivity of the Transient Response following Power Failure to Air Valve and Pipeline Characteristics
Air valves are protective devices often used in pressurised water pipelines, ideally admitting
air to limit sub-atmospheric pressures and controlling the release of entrapped air. This work …
