Hi:

I have a buried model pipeline, I want to make a dymnamic analysis of water hammer when Valves close for a signal of leak detection system. When I make a buried model pipe in Caesr II, the software breaks large elements in a little ones and put springs in each node, but this is a no lineal model. It is possible to make a water hammer analysis by dynamic module, using for exmaple the output of Olga, about location and pressure pick.

- How Caesar II takes the fluid density since in a buried model, density is zero?

- Is it a good approach to use buried model for dynamic analysis?

Please your comments,

Best regards,

Luis F.
