Abstract: A uniformly accelerated laminar flow in a pipe, initially at rest, is analyzed. The acceleration increases the critical Reynolds number remarkably. New experimental findings are used to describe ...

Abstract: Emptying of an initially water-filled horizontal PVC pipeline driven by different upstream compressed air pressures and with different outflow restriction conditions, with motion of an air-water front through the pressurized ...

Abstract: This study presents the results from detailed experiments of the two-phase pressurized flow behavior during the rapid filling of a large-scale pipeline. The physical scale of this experiment is close to the practical ...
