Abstract

The effect of flow pulsations on the characteristics of turbulent flow in the entrance region of a cylindrical pipe is presented. A velocity wave which causes local friction in the turbulent boundary layer is observed in the core flow for relative amplitude of flow fluctuations of 15%. It is shown that the friction coefficient depends on the mode of acoustic resonance of the installation and that the radial distribution of static pressure can not be considered constant in the entrance region.
