In the remainder of this document, it is assumed that the Windows menu style is being used. The menu style can be changed via the Windows Menu. These units can be set using the PIPENET VISION menu system via either (a) Options | Units, if the Windows menu style is used, or (b) Init | Units, if the PIPENET VISION menu style is used. In this case, we specify that the units are user-defined. The units that are to be used are essentially metric, but with m/hr for flow rate. The effect of a pipe rupture.Ī summary of the data is presented below, along with dialog boxes and descriptions of the results. The effect of valve closure and closure time. In this problem, we demonstrate three aspects of modelling:Ĭreation of a user defined pipe schedule. The paper based on this pioneering work is reproduced as the appendix to this chapter of the training manual. This example is based on a network devised by ZADCO in Abu Dhabi, which includes some pioneering work. This pipeline is a cross-country pipeline.

In the second scenario, we consider two cross-country pipelines that are connected by a short pipe.

This is the scenario of a sub-sea pipeline. In the first scenario, we consider a single pipeline that is carrying oil from a platform to a terminal. We shall also introduce some of the basic ideas of manipulating graphs, which are discussed in more detail later in this manual. In this chapter, we shall consider two scenarios of pipelines carrying oil. PIPENET VISION TRAINING MANUAL TRANSIENT: CHAPTER 3 PAGE 1 OF 27 REVISION 2.1, SEP 2010
