Experiments are performed to verify modeling techniques used in fluid-structure interaction codes that predict the response of liquid-filled piping systems to strong pressure pulses. Pressure pulses having a 150-μs rise time, a 2000-psi (13.8 MPa) magnitude, and a 3-ms duration are propagated into straight, water-filled Ni 200 pipes (3-in. (7.6-cm) O.D. 0.065-in. (0.165-cm) wall). Attenuation of the pressure pulse and the strain and deformation along the pipes are measured. The experiments are modeled in WHAM, a two-dimensional, finite-element, compressible fluid-structure interaction code. The experimental and analytical results are discussed in detail and are found to compare favorably.

Recovery Procedure

In the waterhammer analysis of piping systems, incompressible (or added mass) representations are generally used in computing the response of the piping. It is shown that this procedure is not necessarily conservative, particularly for thin-walled, flexible piping systems, and that fully coupled fluid-structure solutions can predict higher loads and stresses. A modal recovery procedure which easily permits the representation on the acoustic effects of the fluid to be included in a structural model is also presented. Results are given for both simple models and a piping system from an LMFBR design.

Abstract Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are advanced class of composite materials which can be used as the thermal barrier to protect inner components from the outside high temperature environment. In FGMs, the volume fraction of each constituent can be tailored made across the thickness for desired applications. In this work, the simulation of FGMs in pipes is considered. Despite the wide application of pipes in machinery, those pipes would suffer from many safety problems, such as thermal stress, cavitation, fracture etc. Application of FGMs to the piping systems could lead to some new solutions accounting for safety measures and higher service life. However, the complex phenomena within the fluid structure interaction are hard to describe with the theoretical solution. The visualization of results from simulation will be helpful in understanding the distribution of kinds of physical quantities within the concerned model. For the simulation, FGMs are modeled as the layered structure in the standard finite element method (FEM) package based on FGM constituent law. The free vibration of the FG pipe is simulated and the accuracy of layered model is verified by numerical calculations. Further, based on the layered model, conjugate heat transfer simulations in a heat exchanger with FGMs are conducted.

Abstract In the analysis of liquid-filled piping systems there are Poisson-coupled axial stress waves in the pipe and liquid column, which are caused by the dilation of the pipe. In some conditions the influence of viscous friction that is usually frequency-dependent should not be omitted, which in fact is another kind of coupled form. It directly influences the amplitude of vibration of piping systems to some degree. The larger the viscosity of the liquid is, the greater the influence will be. Budny (1991) included the viscous friction influence in time domain analysis of fluid-structure interaction, but did not give frequency domain analysis. Lesmez (1990) gave the model analysis liquid-filled piping systems without considering friction. If the friction is not included in frequency domain analysis, the vibration amplitude will be greater than that when friction is included, especially at harmony points, cause large errors in the simulation of fluid pipe network analysis, although it may have little influence on the frequency of harmony points. The present paper will give detail solutions to the transfer matrix that represents the motion of single pipe section, which is the basis of complex fluid-structure interaction analysis. Combined with point matrices that describe specified boundary conditions, overall transfer matrix for a piping system can be assembled. Corresponding state vectors can then be evaluated to predict the piping and liquid motion. At last, a twice-coordinate transformation method is adopted in joint coupling. Consequently, the vibration analysis of spatial liquid-filled piping systems can be carried out. It is proved to be succinct, valid and versatile. This method can be extended to the simulation of the curved spatial pipeline systems.
