Cavitation calculation issues in Caesar II
Thread Content
As the title suggests, how is cavitation calculation taken into account in Caesar II? If any fellow travelers know the answer, please help. Thank you.
{:3_47:} I haven’t studied this issue in CII, but I think CII probably doesn’t have such a function either. CII is software designed for calculating stress; it shouldn’t be used to calculate corrosion. I believe it’s software specialized in dealing with corrosion issues that should be used for that purpose.
Cavitation in pipes is a fluid analysis issue that generally occurs at the high points of the pipes, resulting from column breakage. Solution: Install an exhaust valve at a high point. As for the pressure fluctuations and water hammer forces that arise during this process, they can be addressed in CII.
