Mitigating Pipeline Surge with R-THYM: AI Diagnostics & Scenario Modeling

In this video, we walk through a complete hydraulic surge analysis in R-THYM, simulating a classic water hammer scenario caused by a rapid downstream valve closure in a long pipeline.

Watch how we leverage R-THYM’s built-in AI chat agent to diagnose the transient pressure spikes, explore mitigation strategies, and use the built-in scenario management tool to compare the effectiveness of different solutions side-by-side.

Key Highlights / What You’ll Learn
The Setup: Modeling a long pipeline with a sudden downstream flow rejection.

AI-Powered Diagnostics: Using the R-THYM AI agent to instantly analyze transient results and recommend engineering controls.

Scenario Comparison: Setting up alternative runs (e.g., adjusting valve closure times and pipe sizes) and comparing the pressures over time.
