O Introduction: A “crash test”
O Pressure surge – theoretical background
O Pressure surge and hydro power plants
O Measures to reduce pressure surge
O Summary
3
Causes of pressure surge
OPenstocks – Changes in flow velocity
- Inertia
- Elasticity of the fluid
- Rigidity of pipe material
OPressure surge cannot be totally avoided reduction!
- Valves, pump breakdowns, HPP operation
4
ODestruction of pipes and fittings
OThe penstock can burst from overpressure
OPenstock can collapse if the pressures are reduced below atmospheric – vacuum – SN 10000
Effects of pressure surge
5
Pressure surge: Theoretical approach
OA special case: Instantaneous closing of a valve
- Assumption 1: tc = 0 (valve closes instantaneous)
- Assumption 2: no head losses due to friction (smooth pipe walls)
- Assumption 3: total closure of valve
6
Pressure surge: Theoretical approach
reservoir penstock
valve
(e.g. gate valve)
Where will the kinetic energy of the water column end up ?
Velocity of the water column v0
tc
7
Pressure surge: sequencereservoir
valve overpressure
Negative pressure
TR (or tc): reflection time or critical time8
Pressure surge: sequence
OWhat happens?
- Valve closes, water collides with the valve ( momentum is physically stopped)
- Slight compression of the water pressure wave is formed, which travels back the pipe
- At the reservoir, p = 0 Pressure cannot rise
- Pressure wave is reflected and “turns around” in direction of the valve

L… penstock length

O Instantaneous Valve Closure
- Definition: closure time is less than or equal to 2L/a.
- Joukowski formula
- Assumption for maximum pressure surge, extreme case*)

v0… flow velocity at t=0
*) be aware of multiple opening/ closing or very long pipelines
Pressure surge: estimation
10
Pressure surge: causesOWave velocity
o Wave velocity has large impact on magnitude of pressure surge
o Wave velocity depends on:
- modulus of elasticity of pipe material
- bulk modulus of water
- Fixation and bedding of pipe
o The lower the E-modulus The slower the pressure wave
11
OE-modulus / bulk modulus:
o “Deformability” of a material
oEven water is deformable under pressure
OPressure wave velocity in a pipe
oBulk modulus fluid
oStiffness of the pipe
oPipe zone bedding and backfill have an influence
With
a … Wave velocity in a pipe
ρ … density of fluid

Linear variation of flow
OClosure time tc
OCase 1: Closure time tc = 0
- not possible in practice; a mechanical valve requires some time for total closure
OCase 2: Closure time tc > tR
- Gate valves, pumps, turbines, butterfly and ball valves …
