In this book, numerical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions are presented for investigating how fluid-structure interaction (FSI) affects pressure wave evaluation in cavitation-prone pipelines by Abdelaziz Ghodhbani, Ezzeddine Haj Taïeb, Mohsen Akrout and Sami Elaoud .
Using connected models, the authors create a uniform one-dimensional model. These models take into account viscoelasticity, gas release, axial vibration (junction coupling), Poisson coupling, and unsteady friction (UF). Elastic and viscoelastic (VE) pipelines are the two scenarios that the authors examine.
The book begins with a thorough survey of the literature on pertinent techniques for computing transient fluid flow. Next, there are chapters explaining the mathematical foundation for computations and the numerical procedures for transient cavitation and the water hammer. The outcomes for the two pipeline examples are shown in the final chapters.
The book is presented in simple language intended for engineering students who want to understand CFD simulations for transient flow in pipelines. Equations are explained in simple steps for easy understanding, and concepts are illustrated with detailed diagrams. The information and the codes demonstrated in the book will equip readers with the knowledge to study hydraulic problems where transients are caused by pump starting, stopping and failure.
The book will help engineering graduates, professional engineers and researchers who are studying fluid flows in a variety of complex scenarios.
