Transsient analysis of fluid structure interaction in straight pipe

Water hammer phenomenon is a common problem for flows in pipes. Water hammer usually occurs when transfer of fluid is quickly started, stopped or is forced to make a rapid change in direction. The aim of this study is to use method of characteristics to study water hammer phenomenon. In this study,...

Method of characteristics is applied to constant density flow in a simple reservoir-pipeline-valve system. The water hammer effect is produced via suddenly closing the valve located at the upstream and downstream ends, respectively. Quasi steady shear stress is assumed for the flow.
