Description

Energy saving through flow pulsation in pipelines. This project aims to reduce the costs and environmental impacts associated with transporting fluids such as drinking or wastewater by enhancing our understanding of how turbulence within pipelines drives fluid loss and increases the energy required to maintain flow. Through extensive experiments, this project aims to advance our knowledge regarding the turbulence characteristics of the pulsatile flow and offer crucial insights into how pulsatile profiles can be used to develop turbulence suppression methods. Such progress will contribute to the establishment of methods that could significantly mitigate the environmental impact of pipeline transportation, thus fostering a more sustainable future in Australia..
