Abstract: Formulations are developed in this study for rapid estimates of time-and-space-dependent pipe reaction forces caused by either sudden blowdown or flow stoppage in a fluid piping system. The ...

Abstract: Vapor bubble rise forms the basis for a theoretical study of liquid/vapor action in a saturated system during blowdown. Methods are developed and demonstrated for predicting time and space ...

Abstract: Pressure and acceleration-induced distortion of an incompressible, inviscid liquid region is predicted numerically. The liquid is bounded by both fixed and free boundaries, and its motion is ...
