Pipeline Surge Analysis Using AFT Impulse Software
About Course
AFT Impulse 8
Waterhammer & Surge Analysis Software
AFT Impulse is a powerful dynamic simulation and analysis software used to calculate pressure surge transients in liquid piping systems caused by waterhammer.
- Easily model a wide range of system components and surge devices
- Understand the transient response of your system, knowing how valves, pumps and other components will dynamically interact with each other.
- Evaluate the effect of pressure surges due to vapor cavity collapse by modeling vapor cavitation and liquid column separation.
- Validate the design of safety features to produce safer, more economical pipe systems.
Primary Features of AFT Impulse 8
- Advanced transient solver based on Method of Characteristics
- Built-in steady-state solver to automatically initialize waterhammer transient
- Detailed pump inertial modeling for trips and start-ups including state-of-the-art, four quadrant methods
- Built-in library of fluids and fittings
- Models liquid column separation caused by transient cavitation
- Extensive cavitation modeling
- Scenario Manager to track all design variants and operational possibilities in a single model file with data linkage
- Comprehensive relief valve modeling
- Integrated graphing and reporting
- Animation features to dynamically graph transients
- Create video files from animations to share your results
- Generates force imbalance files that can be automatically read into CAESAR II ® and TRIFLEX ® pipe stress dynamic models
- Built-in intelligence to guide you in building better models
Typical Applications
- Ensure pressure extremes are within design allowables
- Waterhammer calculation
- Size and locate surge suppression equipment
- Determine imbalanced pipe forces and sizing structural supports
- Troubleshoot existing systems to determine the cause of operational problems
- Evaluate the effect of pressure surges due to vapor cavity collapse
