Abstract
To analyze transient flows, continuity and momentum equations must be solved. Due to the non-linear friction term in the momentum equation, numerical methods such as method of characteristics (MOC) are used to analyze the problem in the
time domain. Although numerical methods are easy to use, but they are numerically expensive and time-consuming, especially for advanced applications of transient analysis, e.g., real-time evaluations and fault detection algorithms, including inverse problem solutions. To cope with mentioned problems, an approximate analytical solution should be investigated, which is not required high computational time. To this end, the nonlinear equations should be linearized. Thus, the focus of this paper is to investigate the linearization methods. Therefore, four different linearization methods are applied and the resulting
equations of each method in different RPV systems are solved. The efficiency of each method is compared with the results obtained from the numerical analysis of nonlinear governing equations. The results show that linearized water hammer
equations provide reasonable results in early pressure wave cycles. The obtained results show that the coefficient of determination (R2) of the linearized models changes from 0.92 to 0.99. Also, by comparing the results of linearization models
with each other, the linearized momentum equation in the time domain by replacing the mean velocity instead of the instantaneous velocity is the most accurate model which R2 is 0.999452.
