Fluid–structure interaction is analyzed using 1D and 3D computational models and results from an experimental facility, where transient events are induced. The water-hammer phenomenon is modelled by a 1D model based on the method of characteristics and the COMSOL Multiphysics 4.3b, which uses finite element method to study the fluid structural interaction involved in a long pressurized pipe system with curves, expansion joints, anchor and support blocks and different rheological behaviour of the pipe material. Comparisons are made between the experimental data and the two numerical models, where the type of response of each model was enhanced, as well as the ability of each model to simulate real conditions.
