Protection of pipeline systems from water hammer using oscillatory circuits

The issues related to reduction of the amplitude of high pressure waves in long pipes are relevant in connection with the danger of failure of some hydraulic system's sections. The article deals with the reduction of high pressure by simultaneous separation of fluid flow for long hydraulic systems. Numerical experiments are carried out in order to identify the most cost-effective dimensions of the equipment, as well as the most profitable in terms of energy damping locations of this equipment. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
