Aquifer Test

A simple, approximate but practical graphical method is proposed for estimating the storage coefficient independently from the transmissivity value, provided that quasi-steady state flow data are available from a pumping test. In the past, quasi-steady state flow distance-drawdown data have been used for the determination of transmissivity only. The method is applicable to confined and leaky aquifers. The application of the method has been performed for various aquifer test data available in the groundwater literature. The results are within the practical limits of approximation compared with the unsteady state flow solutions.

Pipe Segment

Piping systems transporting fluid between plant components are subjected to a variety of anticipated and/or postulated flow changes that disturb their steady state operations. These changes cause the fluid flow to accelerate and/or decelerate. However, consideration of fluid elasticity transforms these disturbances into weak and/or strong propagating sound waves, depending upon the abruptness level of the fluid state change. This generates dynamic forces on the pipe segments of the piping system. A simple concept for understanding the piping fluid transient phenomenon from its physical perspective is presented. The piping system consists of several pipe segments, each segment having a constant cross-sectional flow area. The pipe segment is further divided into a consecutive series of zones. Each zone comprises two or three sub-zones of quasi steady state flow. The sub-zones are separated by interface fronts at which the jump in fluid pressure and velocity occurs across them. These fronts propagate and clash with each other to create the next temporal set of sub-zones quasi steady state flow. This method is denoted in this paper as steady state flow fronts clashing ‘SSFFC’. Clashing between the incident, transmitted and/or reflected wave fronts within the zone is introduced. As a precursor to the second part of a two-part publication, the SSFFC is physically illustrated and mathematically formulated to establish the temporal fluid steady state contained within each sub-zone constituting the pipe segment. The developed formulations are comparable to those instituted by the conventional method of characteristics. The pipe segment generalized fluid flow transient forces based on SSFFC methodology are also formulated. In the concurrent publication that forms part two of this presentation [8], sample applications of SSFFC methodology are illustrated.

Confined And Unconfined Aquifers

A method has been proposed for determining a unique storage coefficient value for confined and unconfined aquifers tapped by a large diameter well. The prerequisites for the application of this method are estimation of the transmissivity value and the field measurements of well radius, pumping discharge and time-drawdown measurements at large times, or preferably at the steady or quasi-steady state flow conditions. The application of the method does not require any complicated mathematical procedure of the classical type curve matching procedures. It is recommended especially as a supplementary method to the existing techniques in determining the storage coefficient.

Throat Width

 This paper aims to conduct a series of laboratory experiments in case of steady-state flow for the new size 7 ̋ throat width (not presented before) of the cutthroat flume. For this size, five different lengths were adopted 0.535, 0.46, 0.40, 0.325 and 0.27m these lengths were adopted based on the limitations of the available flume. The experimental program has been followed to investigate the hydraulic characteristic and introducing the calibrated formula for free flow application within the discharge ranged between 0.006 and 0.025 m3/s. The calibration result showed that, under suitable operation conditions, the suggested empirical formulas can accurately predict the values of discharge within an error ± 3%.
