Abstract

This paper presents a verification study of wave propagation in fluid-filled elastic tubes using a coupled numerical simulation method by comparing the simulation results with analytical solutions. A three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction numerical model is built using Ansys software. Wave propagation is investigated by applying a pressure pulse at the inlet of a fluid-filled elastic tube. The speed of the pressure wave and the radial displacement of the tube are simulated and compared with theoretical values. Simulation results yield a high level of accuracy. Different structural elements are used to represent the tube, and their impact on the results is discussed. The effects of tube material, tube constraints and fluid properties are also investigated in this study.
