In recent years, as oil and gas fields become less accessible and their hydrocarbon quality lower and more variable, maintaining or increasing production levels has emerged as a key field development goal. One of the most pronounced challenges in meeting this goal is managing the complex hydraulics of pipelines used in gathering systems and transporting the oil and gas from wells to processing facilities. As these pipelines get longer in new fields, deeper in offshore environments, or simply older in aging implementations, E&P companies face critical problems for which they need better performance predicting and troubleshooting tools. This book is a basic guide to deliver the bare-bones of a subject in bite-sized chunks. If you need to get a good understanding of the basics of pipeline hydraulic engineering problems as quickly as possible then this book is for you.

Analysis and Modelling of Non-Steady Flow in Pipe and Channel Networks deals with flows in pipes and channel networks from the standpoints of hydraulics and modelling techniques and methods. These engineering problems occur in the course of the design and construction of hydroenergy plants, water-supply and other systems. In this book, the author presents his experience in solving these problems from the early 1970s to the present day. During this period new methods of solving hydraulic problems have evolved, due to the development of computers and numerical methods. This book is accompanied by a website which hosts the author's software package, Simpip (an abbreviation of simulation of pipe flow) for solving non-steady pipe flow using the finite element method. The program also covers flows in channels. The book presents the numerical core of the SimpipCore program (written in Fortran). Key features: Presents the theory and practice of modelling different flows in hydraulic networks Takes a systematic approach and addresses the topic from the fundamentals Presents numerical solutions based on finite element analysis Accompanied by a website hosting supporting material including the SimpipCore project as a standalone program Analysis and Modelling of Non-Steady Flow in Pipe and Channel Networks is an ideal reference book for engineers, practitioners and graduate students across engineering disciplines.

The mechanism of flow attenuation in partially filled unsteady pipe flow is presented and shown to have relevance to the design of gravity drainage systems. The equations defining unsteady flow in partially filled pipe are derived and shown to be capable of solution by means of the method of characteristics. This technique as a method of predicting flow depth, velocity and wave speed along a long drainage pipe at a range of pipe gradients, diameters, and roughness coefficients was tested by means of numerical examples for a series of simulations run on a digital computer. Additionally, limited experimental verification of the analysis technique is presented for the supercritical flow response to a short duraction inflow surge. Generally, the technique developed was found to be applicable to the design of drainage systems and further work is proposed to both extend the experimental verification and for the greater complexity of the multi-branched pipe system.

Practitioners in water engineering rely on a thorough understanding of shallow water flows in order to safeguard our habitat, while at the same time sustaining the water environment. This book proposes a unified theoretical framework for the different types of shallow flow, providing a coherent approach to interpret the behaviour of such flows, and highlighting the similarities and differences. Every major topic in the book is accompanied by worked examples illustrating the theoretical concepts. Practical examples, showcasing inspiring research and engineering applications from the past and present, provide insight into how the theory developed. The book is also supplemented by a range of online resources, available at www.cambridge.org/battjes, including problem sets and computer codes. A solutions manual is available for instructors. This book is intended for students and professionals working in environmental water systems, in areas such as coasts, rivers, harbours, drainage, and irrigation canals.

Applications of Nanofluid for Heat Transfer Enhancement explores recent progress in computational fluid dynamic and nonlinear science and its applications to nanofluid flow and heat transfer. The opening chapters explain governing equations and then move on to discussions of free and forced convection heat transfers of nanofluids. Next, the effect of nanofluid in the presence of an electric field, magnetic field, and thermal radiation are investigated, with final sections devoted to nanofluid flow in porous media and application of nanofluid for solidification. The models discussed in the book have applications in various fields, including mathematics, physics, information science, biology, medicine, engineering, nanotechnology, and materials science. - Presents the latest information on nanofluid free and force convection heat transfer, of nanofluid in the presence of thermal radiation, and nanofluid in the presence of an electric field - Provides an understanding of the fundamentals in new numerical and analytical methods - Includes codes for each modeling method discussed, along with advice on how to best apply them
