Interpreting transient results & design considerations
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
Running a transient simulation can produce a vast amount of output data. Effectively utilizing and correctly interpreting these results is key to making informed design and operational decisions to protect your water system. This section will focus on understanding the common outputs from transient analysis software and how they translate into practical design considerations.
We'll look at pressure envelopes, which are graphical representations showing the maximum and minimum pressures reached along pipeline profiles during the entire transient event. These are invaluable for quickly identifying problem areas where design pressure ratings might be exceeded or where negative pressures occur.
