Air valve as protection from water hammer
Sedlmajer, Jakub ; Machů, Tomáš (referee) ; Himr, Daniel (advisor)
The thesis deals with air valves, focusing on vacuum air valves. The theoretical part describes basic water hammer theory, especially low pressure problematics. Subsequently there are briefly explained any of usual water hammer protections, air valves function principles and differences in vacuum air valves constructions. The work is finished by measurement which evaluates reduction of pressure head according to use of this kind of protection.

Modelling of pressure pulsations in pipes
Hofírek, Michal ; Havlásek, Michal (referee) ; Himr, Daniel (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with problem of water hammer in pipes affected by viscoelastic behavior of pipe material. Mathematical model uses pressure dependent speed of sound in water air mixture. For purpose of numerical solution the Method of Characteristics with independent time step is introduced. This method is compared with commonly used methods such as Method of Characteristics (MOC) and Lax Wendroff scheme. Derived model, solved with Method of Characteristics with independent time step, is verified with experimental simulation.

Numerical model of air valve
Luňák, Pavel ; Štigler, Jaroslav (referee) ; Himr, Daniel (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals the formation of water hammer in pipes and the suppress the nega-tive effects especially for the use of protective devices (surge tank, air chamber, air valve and other). The special attention is paid to the use of the air valve, for which it was developed mathematical model. The solution is based on the use of numerical methods Lax-Wendroff with boundary conditions for the air valve.The numerical results are confronted with the ex-periment in conclusion.

Software for simulation of water treatment and water distribution processes
Pavliš, Jan ; Malaník,, Stanislav (referee) ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor)
This document aims on presentation of software focused on mathematic modelling in water treatment and water distrinbution. It consists of a list and descriptions of a number of programs which use static or long-term analysis in examining hydraulics in water distribution systems and also examine water quality parameters. There are other programs also included in this thesis that solve different types of analysis or water engineering structures. Then we can find elaborate descriptions of programs ARTS and Epanet and example analysis of both too. ARTS simulated waterhammer process and Epanet analysed water age through the water distribution system of a small village. This thesis brings basic overview of available programs designated for engineers of water treatment and distribution systems and is also the first step for my future Master´s thesis in which I would like to deeply focus on one of the programs.
