Modeling of transient flows in viscoelastic pipe network with partial blockage

In this study, transient flow and partial blockage in polyethylene (PE) pipe network are investigated experimentally and numerically using the method of characteristics in the time domain considering pipe-wall viscoelasticity. The experiments were conducted on a PE pipe network with and without part...
