- The third generation pipelines, namely the hydraulic capsules pipelines are increasing being used for goods transportation and have significant potential for large scale applications and to bring huge economic and environmental benefits. This paper presents a holistic design methodology for such pipelines for a variety of operating conditions with different types (shapes) of capsules. The work has enabled generation of significant research and industrial activity within the group with a number of projects in the area of pipelines and pumps (inflowsem.hud.ac.uk). Considerable interest has been shown by a major company for use of this technology in nuclear industry.
