Currently IRRICAD does not directly perform a dynamic analysis for hydraulic transients, leaving this type of complex analysis to the valve manufacturers. This may be added to IRRICAD in the future however we do not yet know if or when this might be.

Apart from having control over the velocity you wish to design to, the Position Air Relief Valves tool can assist in identifying critical locations along the pipeline to place Air, Vacuum, or Combination valves. See Release Notes – In Version 18 -> Air Relief Valve Tool for more information.
