Mastering Water Hammer Risks: Join a Free Workshop on Transient Flow & Surge Analysis
Transient flow phenomena—often invisible yet highly destructive—pose some of the most critical risks in modern piping systems. From unexpected pressure surges to cavitation-induced damage, these events can compromise system integrity, safety, and operational reliability. For engineers working in oil & gas, process, firewater, and utilities, understanding and managing these challenges is not optional—it’s essential.
To help professionals tackle these issues head-on, Dynaflow Research Group (DRG) is hosting a free, hands-on online workshop titled:
“Solving Water Hammer Risks in Critical Piping Systems”
Scheduled for June 13 and June 18, 2026, this 3-hour session is designed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world engineering application.
Why Transient Flow Analysis Matters More Than Ever
Transient events such as surge, water hammer, and cavitation occur when there’s a sudden change in flow conditions—such as valve closure, pump trip, or system startup/shutdown. These events can generate extreme pressure fluctuations, leading to:
- Pipe rupture or fatigue failure
- Equipment damage (pumps, valves, supports)
- System downtime and costly repairs
- Safety and environmental risks
Despite advances in simulation tools, many engineering teams still face limitations when analyzing complex systems. Traditional methods and software often fail to capture the full behavior of multi-branch networks, fluid-structure interaction, and dynamic load transfer.
This workshop directly addresses those gaps.
What Makes This Workshop Different
Unlike theory-heavy sessions, this workshop is built around real engineering challenges and live demonstrations. Participants will explore practical scenarios drawn from operating assets in oil & gas, desalination, firewater, and process industries.
