Lecture

Water Hammer in Hydroelectric Installations

Description

This lecture covers the phenomenon of water hammer in hydroelectric installations, discussing direct and reduced water hammer, wave reflections, and solutions to mitigate its effects. It also explores real-life accidents caused by water hammer, such as the Sayano-Shushenskaya incident. The course delves into the calculation of wall thickness, wave reflections at different ends, and the characteristic time of water hammer. Additionally, it examines the simulation of water hammer, the exact solutions for complex wave velocities, and the application of transfer matrices in conservative systems.
