Method to study water hammer with fluid-structure interaction in spatial pipe

  • 1. Mechanical Laboratory for Reactor Structure of Nuclear Power Institute of China, Chengdu (China)

Description

The theory of coupling 4-function models and its solution approach are first introduced in this paper, and the method of CFD to calculate fluid-structure interaction is also introduced. Finally, the model in related reference is applied with this method to simulate the process of water hammer. By CFD calculation for the classical water hammer, the numerical scheme and grid are selected, and the results of CFD are compared with reference. The results show that the method in this paper can be used in more complex pipe system to simulate the water hammer effect. (authors)
