How to Model Transient Forces Caused by Waterhammer

Transient pressure waves exert forces on surrounding pipes in a phenomenon known as waterhammer. The damage caused by these forces can be significant, which is why the effects of waterhammer must be mitigated or avoided via operational design. This webinar will show how to define force sets while modeling a valve slam scenario, and how to analyze the resulting forces.
