A PULSATION CALCULATION ALGORITHM WELL SUITED FOR USE WITH VALVE DYNAMICS CALCULATIONS.

Author(s) : WOOLLATT D.

Summary

THE EFFECTS OF PIPING PULSATIONS ON THE DYNAMICS OF COMPRESSOR VALVES AND ON THE COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY ARE WELL RECOGNIZED AND NUMEROUS PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN TO CALCULATE THESE EFFECTS. THE PAPER OUTLINES A CALCULATION SCHEME FOR PIPING PULSATIONS THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE NORMALLY USED AND MAY OFFER ADVANTAGES IN SOME SITUATIONS. THE TECHNIQUE IS IN THE TIME DOMAIN AND BASED DIRECTLY ON THE METHOD OF CHARACTERISTICS. IT AVOIDS THE INTERPOLATION AND CONSEQUENT SMOOTHING INHERENT IN MESH BASED METHODS.
