Systems and methods for dissipating fluid velocity

A fluid pumping system, comprising:

• a control valve configured to control a stream of fluid from upstream piping to an outlet of the control valve;
• a velocity dissipation chamber coupled with the control valve at an inlet end of the velocity dissipation chamber and configured to reduce a velocity of the stream of fluid along a direction between the outlet of the control valve and an outlet end of the velocity dissipation chamber;
• and
• a downstream equipment coupled to the outlet end of the velocity dissipation chamber.

A method, comprising:

• pumping, using a high pressure pump, fluid through upstream piping to an upstream control valve;
• increasing a velocity of one or more jets of the fluid at an outlet of the upstream control valve using the upstream control valve;
• reducing, using a velocity dissipation chamber, the velocity of the one or more jets of the fluid exiting the upstream control valve;
• and
• flowing the one or more jets of the fluid through an outlet of the velocity dissipation chamber at the reduced velocity.
