Abstract: A numerical analysis of low-velocity two-dimensional transient fluid flow problems is presented. The method is similar in concept to the one-dimensional method of characteristics, but does not ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this paper is to present a method of determining the resonant characteristics of a number of practical hydraulic systems. Distributed parameters are used to describe ...

Abstract: An effective numerical method is presented to compute transients in piping systems in which frequency-dependent parameters influence the response. Frequency-dependent friction is utilized as the ...

Abstract: The classic formula for waterhammer wavespeed is extended to calculate the complex-valued, frequency-dependent wavespeed in a viscoelastic pipe, which takes into account the effect of viscoelasticity ...

Abstract: Steady-oscillatory flow, such as that produced by reciprocating pumps, can be analyzed using impedance methods including friction. The actual pulsating flow produced by the pump is combined with ...

Abstract: Transient fluid flow caused by power failure to pumps or by accidental flow stoppage in offshore piping systems may be significant. This paper discusses analysis procedures with particular ...

Abstract: The paper presents an approach for the analysis of low-velocity two and three-dimensional transient fluid-flow problems. The method assumes the continuum can be represented by a latticework of ...

Abstract: An evaluation of a discretized method of analysis for low-velocity two and three-dimensional transient fluid-flow problems is presented. The method assumes the continuum can be represented by a ...
