In this paper, the dynamic stability of a rotating cantilever pipe conveying fluid with a crack is investigated by the numerical method. That is, the influence of the rotating angular velocity, mass ratio and crack severity on the critical flow velocity for flutter instability of system are studied. The equations of motion of rotating cantilever pipe are derived by using extended Hamilton's principle. The crack section of pipe is represented by a local flexibility matrix connecting two undamaged pipe segments. The crack is assumed to be in the first mode of fracture and always opened during the vibrations. Generally, the critical flow velocity for flutter is proportional to the rotating angular velocity of a pipe. Also, the critical flow velocity and stability maps of the rotating pipe system for the variation each parameter are obtained.

An open pulsating heat pipe operates continuously by inflow and outflow fluids through an open-type condenser. The open pulsating heat pipe is a device capable of obtaining the thrust due to the variation of internal pressure during phase change. Therefore, the open pulsating heat pipe is a suitable device to move fluids if the heat source such as waste heat exists. Many numerical studies have not been sufficiently conducted on the open pulsating heat pipe. In this study, the numerical analysis of the open pulsating heat pipe is performed according to the length of the condenser section. The OpenFOAM software is used to obtain the thrust and the flow visualization for the open pulsating heat pipe.

A three-dimensional model is constructed to simulate water infiltration in an unsaturated slope from a leaking pipe. Adaptive mesh refinement and time stepping are used, assisted by an automatic procedure for progressive steepening of the hydraulic property function for better convergence. The model is justified by comparing the simulated results with experimental data. Steady-state flow is investigated considering various pipe water pressures, locations and sizes of the opening, and soil layering. The opening size significantly affects the soaked zone around the pipe. Preferential flow dominates along the pipe longitudinal direction in the presence of a loose backfill around the pipe.

This paper presents an effective numerical method for analyzing three-dimensional unsteady conjugate heat transfer problems of a curved pipe subjected to infernally thermal stratification. In the present numerical analyses, the thermally stratified flows in the pipe are simulated using the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$turbulent model and the unsteady conjugate heat transfer is treated numerically with a simple and convenient numerical technique. The unsteady conjugate heat transfer analysis method is implemented in a finite volume thermal-hydraulic computer code based on a non-staggered grid arrangement, SIMPLEC algorithm and higher-order bounded convection scheme. Numerical calculations have been performed far the two cases of thermally stratified pipe flows where the surging directions are opposite each other i.e. In-surge and out-surge. The results show that the present numerical analysis method is effective to solve the unsteady flow and conjugate heat transfer in a curved pipe subjected to infernally thermal stratification.

The objective of the present study is to investigate the characteristics of pressure wave propagation of viscous fluid flow in a circular pipe line. The goal of this study is to select the best frequency of each control factor of a circular pipe. We intend to approach a formalized mathematical model by a very exact and reasonable polynomial for fluid transmission lines. and we computed this mathematical model by computer. The results show that the oil viscosity decreased as the length of the circular pipe increases. and The energy of pressure wave propagation decreased as the pipe diameter decreases. The factor is that density of oil was changed resonant frequency. It has been found the viscosity characteristics is changed largely by length of hydraulic pipe and volume of cavity tank.

In this study, analysis is made for the effects of groove shape on the thermal performance of a axial groove heat pipe. The mathematical models of two-phase flow in grooved heat pipe are presented for the capillary limitation in steady state. Generally, the heat pipe performance depends on the capillary pressure and liquid flow. The friction force of liquid flow through the groove increases with the groove width decreased, and then the capillary pressure is improved in the gas-liquid interface of groove. Therefore, the optimal groove width shaper exists for the maximum thermal performance of heat pipe. In this paper, the optimal groove shape and scale are presented by considering both capillary pressure and liquid flow.

On the basis of Nikuradse laboratory experiments conducted in circular pipe with uniform roughness, five flow regimes are defined with respect to the characteristics of boundary layer such as laminar, transition laminar, smooth turbulent, transition turbulent and rough turbulent flows. Two cases are found for the transition laminar flow: one for the transition between laminar flow and smooth turbulent flow and the other for the one between laminar flow and rough turbulent flow. They all can be clearly determined by the relative roughness or the ratio of pipe diameter to the roughness. Explicit functions are developed for the estimation of pipe friction factor for the various flow conditions including turbulent flow regimes, which have excellent agreement with the Nikuradse laboratory data.

This paper describes the dynamics of the weak shock wave propagating inside some kinds of branched pipe bends. Computations are carried out by solving the two-dimensional, compressible, unsteady Euler Equations. The second-order TVD(Total Variation Diminishing) scheme is employed to discretize the governing equations. For computations, two types of branched pipe($90^{\circ}$ branch,$45^{\circ}$ branch) with a diameter of D are used. The incident normal shock wave is assumed at D upstream of the pipe bend entrance, and its Mach number is changed between 1.1 and 2.4. The flow fields are numerically visualized by using the pressure contours and computed schlieren images. The comparison with the experimental data performed for the purpose of validation of computational work. Reflection and diffraction of the propagating shock wave are clarified. The present computations predicted the experimented flow field with a good accuracy.

This paper addresses a new technique of measuring the mean flow velocity not only over the cross sectional area but also along the pipe by exploiting the acoustic plane waves in the pipe. When fluid flows in the pipe and two plane waves propagate oppositely through the medium in it, the flow velocity causes a change of the wave number of the plane waves. The wave number of the positive going plane wave decreases but oppositely that of negative going one increases in comparison to no flow of the medium in the pipe. Theoretical backgrounds of this method are in details discussed and measurement results of the mean flow velocity are illustrated to reveal the feasibility and effectiveness of the suggested technique.

This research is focused on the experimental study of the noise induced by two-phase refrigerant flow in the evaporator. The two-phase flow in the evaporator has various flow patterns. The effects of two-phase flow pattern's characteristics on the noise of the evaporator are investigated experimentally. The experimental data shows that the generated noise is mainly related to the layout of the pipe and the certain two-phase flow patterns such as the churn and slug flow. Based on these results, we removed the unnecessary vertical pipe and changed the pipe diameter of the evaporator - inlet into small one in order to avoid the intermittent flow condition. The noise level of newly-designed inlet-pipe of the evaporator was measured experimentally by refrigerant-supplying equipment and compared with that of conventional one.
