Abstract: The paper deals with transient transcritical flow in closed sewer pipe. Among the various shock-capturing schemes used for solving hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, an upwind scheme is adopted in such a way that automatic description of hydraulic jumps and bores becomes possible by a steep variation of hydraulic variables over a few grid points. The Pavia Flux Predictor scheme (P.F.P.) was selected, because of its simplicity, robustness and physical consistency. To validate the numerical model, experiments were carried out for a steep slope circular pipe. An application to flush flows at sewer heads is also presented in a context of parsimonious water consumption.
