Abstract
The modelling of transient cavitation is described in this chapter by
considering column separation modelling where FSI and gas release are taken into
account. As detailed for water hammer modelling, transient in straight pipeline is
caused by fast closure of shut-off valve. Both vaporous and gaseous cavitation are
considered in the numerical models.
