Contents Book Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Figures; Tables; Preface; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations and notation; 1 Building drainage and vent systems, a traditional building service requiring an engineering analysis makeover?; 2 Pressure transient propagation in building drainage and vent systems; 3 Mathematical basis for the simulation of low amplitude air pressure transients in vent systems; 4 Simulation of the basic mechanisms of low amplitude air pressure transient propagation AIRNET applications
5 Pressure surge as a source of system failure, leading to the development of control and suppression strategies6 Application of the Method of Characteristics based simulation to a series of case studies; 7 Airflow applications of the Method of Characteristics simulation techniques; 8 The role of national codes in drainage and vent system design; Afterword; References; Author and organisation index; Topic index
Summary Provides a new perspective to the design of building drainage and vent systems. This book includes the Method of Characteristics solution techniques which are well established in the pressure surge field to provide solutions for drainage designers. It serves as a design aid and as a core text for specialist masters courses in public health
