Boundary condition setting for water hammer proble

October 12, 2007, 13:11

I am trying to use fluent to model a water hammer problem in a elbow pipe. The initial condition is steady flow in th e pipe. At time 0, outlet is closed. Does anyone know how to set the boundary condition for a simple problem like that? Thanks in advance.

I have the density and speed of sound set by UDFs. Any other thing I should take care in the problem? I don't find too much in Fluent manual or online tech support. thanks
