This course teaches you all the fundamentals of performing pressure surge and water hammer analysis using BOSfluids.
Background knowledge about pressure surge analysis is provided as well as a detailed overview of the features and capabilities of the BOSfluids software. The complete workflow of performing a surge analysis is discussed; from performing a steady state analysis and simulating transient events to post-processing the simulation results and how to use the flow-induced loads to perform a structural analysis. Next to exercises using BOSfluids, additional real-life cases and their associated mitigation measures are discussed.
After this course, you will be a confident user of BOSfluids, that understands good design practices and analysis methods for performing pressure surge and water hammer analysis.
