A new online journal for Hydraulic Engineers, Journal of Applied Fluid Transients .
The mission is to provide a platform for rapid dissemination of ideas and research findings associated with the application of modeling tools for solving complex and real-world pipeline transient problems.
Rapid economic development in certain parts of the world coupled with aging pipeline infrastructure in developed countries has spurred interest in hydraulic transient modeling. Utilities and consultants are looking for the most economical ways to design and protect vital pipeline infrastructure having realized the trade-off between stronger pipelines and reliable surge protection systems. There is a wealth of information published on fluid transients in journals, conference proceedings, and other books but much of that information revolves around improved methods for solving the fundamental partial differential equations describing transient flow problems. Though that information is quite useful for those building the software tools, most users are concerned about using the software tools effectively to find economical solutions to complex real-world transient flow problems. While academic journals are engrossed in finding advanced solution methods and trade journals are pre-occupied in promoting surge protection equipment manufacturers, the need for a dedicated platform for discussing practical solutions to complex transient flow problems is self-evident.
