Abstract
The flow of a two-phase fluid through elastic tubes is more complex than that of a single phase fluid. The mathematical model is based on an one-dimensional approach to the flow of a liquid-gas mixture. The one-dimensional equations for transient two-phase flow through elastic tubes are a system of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations if the bubbles and the liquid particles move with the same velocity. Included in the model are the effects of wall elasticity, compressibility of the gas and the liquid, the surface tension and the variable area change. The propagation of finite pressure waves and shock waves in a liquid containing gas bubbles has been investigated. The results show a differently strong influence of the parameters on the wave propagation speed and on the shock wave relations.
