Calculation

Velocity in valve

$$v_{max}=\cfrac{4\cdot 10^6\cdot Q_{max}}{π\cdot D^2}$$

Theoretical pressure in the valve at full opening

$$Δ_h=\cfrac{v_{max}^2}{2\cdot g}\cdot \left({\min\left(ζ\right)}+1\right)$$

Pressure parameter

$$p=\cfrac{Δ_h}{H}$$

$$0 < p \le 1$$

Effective closing time factor

$$c_{ef}=\cfrac{1}{18}/\max_{i=1}^{18}{\left(Q_p[i]-Q_p[i+1]\right)}$$

$$c_{ef}\le 1$$

Under-pressure behind the valve

$$P_{u}=\max\left(-\cfrac{L\cdot v_{max}}{g\cdot t\cdot c_{ef}}, -\cfrac{p_{air}}{ρ\cdot g}\right)$$
