Collapsible Phenomena in the Flexible Tubes due to the Flow Rate and Transmural Pressure Changes

The collapsible phenomena of the circular tubes due to the excessive transmural pressure are investigated experimentally. Collapsible tubes are installed in the test section where the external pressure is applied to the test tubes by applying the hydrostatic head. The collapsible circular tubes are made of rubber, whose diameters are 6 and 4.2 mm, respectively. The hydrostatic water head of the upper reservoir is applied to the test section. Pressures at the upstream and downstream sides are measured by the pressure transducers. The collapsible phenomena are observed as the transmural pressure Increases, and also the flutter phenomenon occurs due to the critical transmural pressure.
