Pulsing Flows of a Viscous Incompressible Liquid in a Pipe with Elastic Walls

Abstract

As you know, the recent intensive introduction into practice of flexible pipelines made of polymer synthetic materials, pulsating fluid flow in elastic pipes is of great importance. As you know, the recent intensive introduction into practice of flexible pipelines made of polymer synthetic materials, pulsating fluid flow in elastic pipes is of great importance. By solving the problem, the necessary hydrodynamic parameters will be determined, such as pressure distributions, velocities, flow rates, the speed of propagation of the pulse wave pressure and their decay. For the first time in this article, a decrease in hydraulic resistance in a pulsating flow through pipes due to the elasticity of the wall will be determined. The dependence of the dimensionless value of the pressure pulse wave on the vibrational number was investigated .The speed of the pulse wave was compared with the speed of Moens-Korteweg , and significant differences were revealed between them occurring at lower values of the Womersley oscillatory parameter, at large values of which significant differences are not observed. The dependence of the reciprocal damping per wavelength on the vibrational number , was also investigated; it was shown that the damping is free at smaller values of the Womersley vibrational parameter, practically equal to zero, and at large values of which it asymptotically approaches unity.
