Abstract
Abstract In the waterhammer analysis of piping systems, incompressible (or added mass) representations are generally used in computing the response of the piping. It is shown that this procedure is not necessarily conservative, particularly for thin-walled, flexible piping systems, and that fully coupled fluid-structure solutions can predict higher loads and stresses. A modal recovery procedure which easily permits the representation on the acoustic effects of the fluid to be included in a structural model is also presented. Results are given for both simple models and a piping system from an LMFBR design.
