Abstract

Modeling fluid lines for applications such as hydraulic fracturing has been studied for many years, and we know that the inverse frequency method presents very accurate solutions for systems with lines in almost all laminar flow cases. However, utilizing this method is not easy for all users, and requires experience and understanding of the method. In this study a simplified method is introduced for accurately modeling the transients in lines which requires minimum experience in utilizing inverse frequency methods; the accuracy and limits of this simplified method are studied. Also, alternative approaches are presented which improved the accuracy of the final results.
