Experimental stand for the study of unsteady water flow through pipelines and pipe networks [articol]

Abstract

This paper presents the physical model developed by authors for the study of hydraulic shock in a ring type distribution network. Using hydraulic similarity criteria, the ring shaped stand models the Amara village, Ialomita County, water supply network. In order to analyze the network behaviour in different types of consumption variation, the network is connected to a computerized measuring unit, developed on a LabVIEW platform (National Instruments) that provides measurement, real-time display (graphical and / or tabular) of physical quantities collected from the sensors attached to the network.
