Surge Analysis Program Version 2

Surge Analysis Program Version 2 is an engineering tool for modeling and mitigating hydraulic transients (water hammer) in pressurized piping systems. It helps engineers predict pressure spikes, flow reversals, and cavitation risks caused by events such as pump trips, valve operations, startups, and shutdowns, and evaluate protective measures before implementation.

Key capabilities:

• Network modeling: Build systems with pipes, junctions, pumps, valves, reservoirs, tanks, and protection devices like surge tanks, air/vacuum valves, and relief valves, all with configurable properties.
• Transient event definition: Specify time-dependent operations, closure profiles, ramp rates, power failures, and demand changes; run single cases or multi-scenario studies.
• Robust solving and initialization: Establish a steady-state starting point and simulate transient behavior with high numerical stability.
• Results and visualization: Generate time-history plots of pressure, head, and flow; view profile animations; review min/max envelopes; and export tabular summaries for reporting.
• Design support: Compare and size surge protection devices and test what-if strategies to keep pressures within allowable limits and reduce equipment stress.
• Workflow and quality: Consistent unit handling (SI/US), input validation checks, and report templates to streamline documentation and collaboration.

Typical applications:

• Water and wastewater transmission mains, distribution networks, and pumping stations.
• Industrial process piping and district energy systems.
• Oil, gas, and fire protection pipelines where water-hammer control is critical.

Benefits:

• Reduce the risk of pipe bursts, service interruptions, and equipment damage.
• Improve system reliability and optimize investments in surge protection.
• Communicate findings clearly with stakeholders through concise visuals and reports.
