A vibration analysis for the determination of the natural frequencies and the associated eigenmodes of a pipe elbow with end-flanges or tangent terminations was performed. A numerical investigation of this problem was achieved with a semi-analytic definition finite ring element and a commercial finite element code. To assess the accuracy of the numerical solution for the elbow vibration, an experimental modal analysis was performed on a curved and on a straight pipe. The responses were processed by a data acquisition system which performs a fast Fourier transform on the time histories to convert them from a time to frequency domain, these leading to the extraction of natural frequencies and mode shapes associated with the test-specimen. The results were compared with the corresponding ones from the numerical approach and discussion about the results completes the paper.

In structural engineering, the geometry of a large number of structural details may involve the combination of straight and curved parts in order to meet requirements of functionality and/or attractive design. Piping systems are structural elements used in the chemical industry, aeronautical and aerospace engineering, conventional and nuclear power plants and fluid transport in general-purpose process equipment. This paper presents a new finite element pipe with 19 degrees of freedom, where shape functions are set-up from the displacement field parallel to a local reference system. A displacement-based formulation was developed with Fourier series for increasing the structural element distortion capabilities. A finite element pipe may be considered as a part of a toroidal shell. The stress field distribution may be calculated for any cylindrical section pipe. Experimental set-up will be presented for in-plane piping system loading case and experimental stress measurement will be compared with the numerical stresses results obtained with this formulation and with other different commercial codes. The main advantage of this formulation is associated with timeless mesh generation with low number of elements and nodes. Considerable computational effort may be reduce with the use of this finite element pipe.

This chapter deals with the more usual formulations in the numerical approaches to the problem of stress analysis of curved pipes under generalized bending loads. The application of curved pipe elements is critically necessary in any piping structure, no matter which the project applications are. Depending on the safety standards ruling the project, it is known that curved pipe elements are much more vulnerable to excessive stressing than straight pipe elements. A larger risk of accessory breakdown during continuous operation after a situation where limiting forces are exceeded is likely to occur. The study of the flexibility and stress state of curved pipes subjected to generalized forces has been an area of interest of many engineers and physicists, given the high interest of the theme in many structural applications.

A análise estrutural de tubos é uma ferramenta sempre útil para diversas aplicações. O facto de existir um conjunto de equações que preveja o comportamento destes no momento em que são solicitados, tornaria mais fácil o processo de dimensionamento bem como da escolha da geometria dos tubos. Esta dissertação tem como principal objetivo obter o comportamento de tubos retos e curvos quando lhes é aplicada uma força concentrada ou uma carga distribuída. Numa fase inicial foram usados tubos retos como objeto de estudo, pelo facto de se tratar de uma geometria menos complexa. Numa fase seguinte foram então analisados os de geometria curva. De modo a estabelecer um termo de comparação, foram realizados também ensaios experimentais com o objetivo de analisar o erro da formulação proposta, tendo para o efeito utilizado a geometria menos complexa. Os resultados experimentais obtidos permitiram concluir acerca da assertividade dos modelos propostos, uma vez que a comparação é bastante satisfatória.; Structural analysis of pipes is an invaluable tool for all sorts of applications. Were there to be a set of equations that would describe their behavior under a duty service, it would enable a more documental choice in what concerns both pipe geometry and dimensions. The main objective of this thesis is to obtain a mathematical formulation for the behavior of both straight and curved pipes while prompted by a localized or uniformly distributed load. Firstly...

This paper reports experiments for the flow at the inlet and outlet of a ceramic foam located in a straight pipe and in a pipe with a 1:4 sudden expansion. For the last latter, the foam, with thickness to diameter ratio between 0.15 and 0.60, was located at different distances from the sudden expansion wall. The LDA velocity measurements obtained allowed investigating the influence of the ceramic foam insert on the flow upstream from the porous medium inlet or downstream from its outlet. Three different pore sizes (10, 20 and 60 pores per inch) were investigated for pore Reynolds numbers in the range 20≤Rep≤400, corresponding to pipe Reynolds numbers of 600≤ReD≤5500 (2400≤ReD≤22000 in the pipe section upstream of the sudden expansion). Experimental results include velocity profiles at the foam exit as function of the Reynolds number and foam thickness, and confirm the outlet multi-jet flow structure and the decay of the strongly fluctuating velocity field induced at the foam exit in the flow downstream from the porous medium.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the axisymmetric unsteady flow of an incompressible gen- eralized Newtonian °uid in a straight rigid and impermeable tube with circular cross-section of constant radius. To study this problem, we use an approach based on the Cosserat theory (also called director the- ory) related to °uid dynamics which reduces the exact three-dimensional equations to a system depending only on time and on a single spatial variable. From this system we obtain for a °ow without swirling motion the relationship between mean pressure gradient and volume °ow rate over a ¯nite section of the pipe for the speci¯c case of the power law viscosity function. Moreover, we compare the 3D exact solution for steady volume °ow rate with the corresponding solution obtained by the Cosserat theory using nine directors.

Under certain conditions, a fully developed turbulent flow in a straight pipe may show a secondary flow; for instance, when non-circular cross-section or non-uniform wall roughness around the perimeter of the duct are considered. In horizontal pipe particle-laden gas flow, the non-uniform forcing of the flow by the solids entrained in the gas core may also drive a secondary flow, even with uniform wall roughness along the circumferential direction. In this paper, the effects of wall roughness, particle size and particle mass loading ratio on the secondary flow developing in a horizontal pipe of circular cross-section under turbulent conditions are analysed. The computations are based on the Euler-Lagrange approach accounting for wall roughness and inter-particle collisions (i.e., four-way coupling). In the case of inertial particles, if inter-particle collisions are disregarded, the secondary flow consists of two recirculation cells with an upward flow near the vertical (symmetry) axis and a downward flow close to the walls. On the other hand, when inter-particle collisions are accounted for, the pattern depends on the particle concentration profile: with relatively smooth walls (low roughness), two recirculation cells are found, but with rough walls four recirculation cells are generated. For smaller particles...

This thesis presents a method for estimating the distribution of stress components around the outer circumference of a cross section of a pipe, from the readings of strain gage elements arbitrarily positioned and oriented around this circumference. A least-squares procedure is used to obtain best estimates of the coefficients of Fourier expansions describing such distributions. A digital computer program was developed for applying the method. Data for testing the method and program were generated by a computer program using the best available theory of stress analysis in pipes. Methods for adding random errors to the data were adapted and used for closer simulation of actual situations. A second problem treated in this thesis is that of inferring the loading acting through the cross section of a straight pipe of concentric bore from known stresses at points on the external surface of the cross section which is presumed to be distant from stress concentrations. It is shown that this inference can be made from stresses at only three points of the cross section. A digital computer program was developed to do this.

In previous studies the dynamics of the relativistic particle moving along the rotating pipe was investigated. The simple gedanken experiment was considered. It was shown that at large enough velocities a centrifugal force acting on the bead changes its usual sign and attracts towards the rotation axis. The authors studied motion of the particle along the rotating straight pipe in the frame of the observer located in the center of rotation, also dynamics of centrifugally accelerated relativistic particle was studied in the laboratory frame. In the both cases it was shown that centrifugal force changes sign. Recently the problem was studied in the frame of stationary observers. It was argued that centrifugal acceleration reversal is not frame invariant effect. In the present paper we consider motion of particle along the rotating straight line in the frame of an arbitrary stationary observer located at certain distance form the center of rotation and rigidly rotating with constant angular velocity. It is shown that any stationary observer could detect reversal of centrifugal acceleration.; Comment: The goal of this paper is to respond calculations and claims given by Lyutikov, Maxim in his paper : On reversal of centrifugal acceleration in special relativity (arXiv:0903.1113)

## Shear dispersion along circular pipes is affected by bends, but the torsion of the pipe is negligible

The flow of a viscous fluid along a curving pipe of fixed radius is driven by a pressure gradient. For a generally curving pipe it is the fluid flux which is constant along the pipe and so I correct fluid flow solutions of Dean (1928) and Topakoglu (1967) which assume constant pressure gradient. When the pipe is straight, the fluid adopts the parabolic velocity profile of Poiseuille flow; the spread of any contaminant along the pipe is then described by the shear dispersion model of Taylor (1954) and its refinements by Mercer, Watt et al (1994,1996). However, two conflicting effects occur in a generally curving pipe: viscosity skews the velocity profile which enhances the shear dispersion; whereas in faster flow centrifugal effects establish secondary flows that reduce the shear dispersion. The two opposing effects cancel at a Reynolds number of about 15. Interestingly, the torsion of the pipe seems to have very little effect upon the flow or the dispersion, the curvature is by far the dominant influence. Lastly, curvature and torsion in the fluid flow significantly enhance the upstream tails of concentration profiles in qualitative agreement with observations of dispersion in river flow.

A new geometrical perturbation scheme is developed in order to calculate the electromagnetic fields produced by charged sources in prescribed motion moving in a non-straight perfectly conducting beam pipe. The pipe is regarded as a perturbed infinitely long hollow right-circular cylinder. The perturbation maintains the pipe's circular cross-section while deforming its axis into a planar space-curve with, in general, non-constant curvature. Various charged source models are considered including a charged bunch and an off-axis point particle. In the ultra-relativistic limit this permits a calculation of the longitudinal wake potential in terms of powers of the product of the pipe radius and the arbitrarily varying curvature of the axial space-curve. Analytic expressions to leading order are presented for beam pipes with piecewise defined constant curvature modelling pipes with straight segments linked by circular arcs of finite length. The language of differential forms is used throughout and to illustrate the power of this formalism a pedagogical introduction is developed by deriving the theory ab-initio from Maxwell's equations expressed intrinsically as a differential system on (Minkowski) spacetime.; Comment: 43pages, 7figures

Although the critical Reynolds number for linear instability of the laminar flow in a straight pipe is infinite, we show that it is finite for a divergent pipe, and approaches infinity as the inverse of the divergence angle. The velocity profile at the threshold of inviscid stability is obtained. A non-parallel analysis yields linear instability at surprisingly low Reynolds numbers, of about 150 for a divergence of 3 degrees, which would suggest a role for such instabilities in the transition to turbulence. A multigrid Poisson equation solver is employed for the basic flow, and an extended eigenvalue method for the partial differential equations describing the stability.; Comment: 9 pages, 15 figures, accepted to J.

We study boundary effects in a linear wave equation with Dirichlet type conditions in a weakly curved pipe. The coordinates in our pipe are prescribed by a given small curvature with finite range, while the pipe's cross section being circular. Based on the straight pipe case a perturbative analysis by which the boundary value conditions are exactly satisfied is employed. As such an analysis we decompose the wave equation into a set of ordinary differential equations perturbatively. We show the conditions when secular terms due to the curbed boundary appear in the naive peturbative analysis. In eliminating such a secularity with a singular perturbation method, we derive amplitude equations and show that the eigenfrequencies in time are shifted due to the curved boundary.; Comment: To appear in J Phys A: Math.

The identification of stream in the straight pipe as a flexible rod has allowed to present the criterion expression for determination of transition of the laminar flow regime to the turbulent as a loss of stability of the rectilinear static structure of translational motion of stream in pipe and its transition to the flexural-vortical dynamic structure of translational motion, just as a flexible rod buckling. The introduced criterion allows to take into account an influencing of the inlet geometry, the pipe length, the flow velocity, and also of any physical factors on stability of the rectilinear flow structure. It is ascertained, that Reynolds number is the number of local hydrodynamic similarity and it is displayed that one is constituent part of the introduced stability criterion. The developed approach to a problem of stability is applicable for a problem solving on internal flow and external streamline.; Comment: 9 pages

## Energy Spectra from Electromagnetic Fields Generated by Ultra-relativistic Charged Bunches in a Perfectly Conducting Cylindrical Beam Pipe

Hale, Alison C; Tucker, Robin W
Tipo: Artigo de Revista Científica
Unidirectional start-up flow of a viscoelastic fluid in a pipe with fractional Maxwell's model is studied. The flow starting from rest is driven by a constant pressure gradient in an infinite long straight pipe. By employing the method of variable separations and Heaviside operational calculus, we obtain the exact solution, from which the flow characteristics are investigated. It is found that the start-up motion of fractional Maxwell's fluid with parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$, tends to be at rest as time goes to infinity, except the case of $\beta=1$. This observation, which also can be predicted from the mechanics analogue of fractional Maxwell's model, agrees with the classical work of Friedrich and it indicates fractional Maxwell's fluid presents solid-like behavior if $\be\neq 1$ and fluid-like behavior if $\be=1$. For an arbitrary viscoelastic model, a conjecture is proposed to give an intuitive way judging whether it presents fluid-like or solid-like behavior. Also oscillations may occur before the fluid tends to the asymptotic behavior stated above, which is a common phenomenon for viscoelastic fluids.; Comment: 14pages, 7 figures. A revised edition
