One of the Pipeline’s Boundary Conditions that can be defined in Ariete, our software for water hammer calculation in pipeline systems, is that of a water Pumping Station in which there exists one or more Centrifugal Pumps with similar characteristics and operating in parallel (two or more units).
...When it comes to the significant effects of water hammer in water conveying pipelines (water pumping mains), the situation of accidental stoppage of flow supplied by a pumping station is the one that represents, perhaps, the most unfavorable condition in the design and operation of the system.
...The ability to analyze different alternatives for protection against water hammer effects in a water pipeline system, either supplied by gravity or supplied by pumping, is one of the main features of Ariete, our water hammer software, which through the “Analysis Scenarios” creation allows comparing the results, obtained in each of these scenarios, simultaneously.
