Fluid Transients in Flexible Piping Systems

A Perspective on Recent Developments

  • Conference paper
Hydraulic Machinery and Cavitation

Abstract

Between 1970 and 1990 a substantial amount of research activity focused on understanding the mechanical interaction between unsteady flow in piping and the resulting vibration of the pipe elements and support structures. As a result, several analytical and numerical techniques were developed and reported. A primary motivation for this work emanated from the nuclear power industry, where a number of water hammer incidents and resulting pipe motion occurred. In the 1980’s, analytical methods were advanced to the point where dynamically coupled numerical predictions proved to be attainable without extensive complication.
