Dear Dave,
From june 94- Water Hammer analysis example -SNFAIL (Time history Analysis)
The first force acts @ Node 30 - Angle valve.
I agree the flow first first hits on the angle valve. But our general consideration is force applied on the bends only.
If I am doing Pseduo static, Spectrum analysis and Time history analysis, Whether I have to consider the force on the angle valve or not??
