Settling Slurries (SSL)
An Impulse Add-on Module
With this add-on module, Impulse is the only commercial software
solution that can model both non-settling and settling slurry
waterhammer effects. This module has been designed specifically
for Impulse and can work with new or existing models.
solution that can model both non-settling and settling slurry
waterhammer effects. This module has been designed specifically
for Impulse and can work with new or existing models.
Popular Functions Include:
- Avoid system failures
- Prevent plugged pipes and misapplied pumps
- Improve safety by understanding slurry waterhammer transients
- Expertly handle slurry system challenges
The module does the heavy lifting for you:
- Accommodate a wide range of slurry data
- Predict slurry wavespeed
- Enter properties of solids particles and keep them in a sharable database
- Evaluate multiple design and operating cases using Scenario Manager
- Use state-of-the-art correlations to predict flow and initial pressure distribution to initialize the transient
Modeling Features:
- Specify Slurries:
- Basic Water Slurry Input - uses water as the carrier fluid and treats all pipes as isothermal
- Advanced Slurry Input - use any fluid as the carrier fluid, allow slurry properties to vary among pipes, and allow heat transfer and system energy balance calculation
- Choose from three slurry calculation methods:
- Minimal - can be used in the preliminary design phase
- Simplified - additional information is required and gives a better solution
- Detailed – (default) provides the most rigorous solution methodology
- Calculate wavespeed based on properties of carrier liquid and solid particles
