Experimental and Numerical Analysis of a Water Emptying Pipeline Using Different Air Valves

The emptying procedure is a common operation that engineers have to face in pipelines. This generates subatmospheric pressure caused by the expansion of air pockets, which can produce the collapse of the system depending on the conditions of the installation. To avoid this problem, engineers have to...
