Abstract

The transmission line method is a very efficient method for dynamic modelling of flow in pipelines and uses delay elements to represent wave propagation. In this article, an existing transmission line method model is investigated and shown to have some deficiencies. An alternative technique is introduced to enhance the transient and steady-state accuracy. Extremely good agreement is obtained between this new transmission line method and an analytical model. The model has been implemented in simulation of a number of highly dynamic systems and has been found to be robust and reliable.
