Theoretical estimation based on the uniform ovalization model and local collapse model proposed in the paper is incorporated to give several simple formulations with reasonable accuracy for determining the relationship between bending moment (M) and curvature (kappa) in the purely bended pipes. Attention is focused on the critical curvature associated with maximum resistant moment and the maximum change in the original diameter before the end of uniform ovalization stage as well as the local collapse behaviour. Some comparisons between analytical results and experimental results are made in order to examine the theory.展开更多

The effects of dimensionless delay time on the variation relationship between dimensionless complex frequency of the clamped-clamped viscoelastic circular pipe conveying fluid with the Kelvin-Voigt model and dimensionless flow velocity were analyzed. For greater dimensionless delay time, the behavior of the viscoelastic pipe is that the first, second and third mode does not couple, while the pipe behaves divergent instability in the first and second order mode, then single-mode flutter takes place in the first order mode.展开更多

The fiber orientation tensors are used to describe the characteristics of theorientation dislribution of fibers. The constitutive equation for the fiber suspensions is set upand the modified Orr-Sommerfeld stability equation is derived. An improved finite difference methodwith high order accuracy is employed to solve the e-quation. The Newtonian pipe Poiseuille flowcorresponding to H = 0 is also analyzed for comparison. The results reveal that the fiber additiveswill enhance the flow stability, the degree of enhancement becomes high with the increases of theparameter H which accounts for the fiber resistance to the stretching along its axis. Fibersuspensions with large H can suppress the influence of high Reynolds number on the flow stability.Particularly, fibers give a higher attenuation of the short waves of disturbance.展开更多

The transport characteristics and the so-called 'roto-floating' characteristics were studied from the tests of sediment transport in the normal pipe flow and the spiral pipe flow, and hereby the energy gradients of the two kinds of pipe flows were obtained. By comparing the mean concentrations at the same gradient, it was concluded that the TE of the latter is several times to over ten times higher than that of the former, and the lift of the latter is 200 times larger than that of the former for the nearly same TE. The spiral flow in circular pipe is suitable for transporting fine grains of high concentration, and with sedimentation trend and coarse grains.展开更多

Aset of formulas for velocity, pressure and wall shear stress distributions are obtained. Results show that the flow patterns of entrance flow are considerably different from those ofdeveloped flow in a converging-diverging pipe: the velocity distribution at the stenosis issmoother, the centerline velocity decreases, and the wall shear stress and pressure gradient increase in the entrance region. The length of entrance flow for the pipe is slighty lower than that for a straight one with constant cross section. The results are checked by thefinite difference method.展开更多
