Abstract:The problem presented in this report is intended to be instructive. It is designed to be a step by step approach on how pipe response due to waterhammer can be solved using fundamental engineering principles. When fluid accelerates in a piping system, the pipe experience a reaction force that is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the fluid. The relationship between fluid and structural behaviors in this type of problem can be analyzed by the fluid-structure coupling approach. This methodology takes the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
