Modeling Transient Pipe Flow in Plastic Pipes with Modified Discrete Bubble Cavitation Model

Most of today’s water supply systems are based on plastic pipes. They are characterized by the retarded strain (RS) that takes place in the walls of these pipes. The occurrence of RS increases energy losses and leads to a different form of the basic equations describing the transient pipe flow. In t...
