Verification Case 2
PRODUCT: AFT Impulse 9

FLUID: Water
ASSUMPTIONS: N/A
RESULTS:
DISCUSSION:
A long pipeline is modeled using two methods, one where the full length of the pipe is modeled, and one where two sections of the pipe are modeled with the infinite pipe method applied. It can be seen in the two graphs above that similar to Wylie, AFT Impulse gives nearly identical results for the pipe with each of the methods applied. As noted by Wylie, the infinite pipe feature can only be used up to the time when a reflection would return from the end of the pipeline.
