Abstract Submission: Building on the foundational understanding of hydraulic transients and their potential risks to water systems, this session will delve deeper into advanced modeling techniques and practical surge protection strategies. Participants will revisit the numerical methods of transient modeling, exploring their application in more complex scenarios. The focus will shift towards enhancing model accuracy and overcoming the inherent challenges posed by system non-linearity and operational dynamics. New case studies will be introduced, providing insight into the application of surge protection devices in diverse system configurations. Special attention will be given to optimizing the design and selection of protection strategies for both existing infrastructures and newly designed systems. Common pitfalls observed in previous transient simulations will be re-examined, with practical solutions offered to improve future modeling efforts. Participants will engage in a new series of hands-on exercises using InfoSurge Pro. These tasks will not only reinforce theoretical concepts but also help users gain proficiency in navigating real-world transient scenarios, ultimately enhancing their ability to manage and mitigate hydraulic transients with increased confidence.
