Water-hammer waves propagation is an important phenomenon arising in numerous
applications. It is also a long-standing topic in the fields of mechanics, mechanical …

Abstract The HLLC (Harten–Lax–van Leer contact) approximate Riemann solver for
computing solutions to hyperbolic systems by means of finite volume and discontinuous …

Pipelines conveying a multiphase mixture must withstand the cyclic induced stresses that
occur due to the alternating motion of gas pockets and liquid slugs. Few previous studies …

Water-hammer with column-separation induced by cavitation is investigated numerically.
The vapor–water flow is modeled using the Homogeneous Equilibrium Model in conjunction …

This paper presents a new coupling method for the analysis of fluid–structure interaction
(FSI) using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and finite element method (FEM). Both …

An improved smooth particle hydrodynamics–finite element method (SPH-FEM) coupling
approach was developed for investigating fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems. To deal …

Abstract Pipelines in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) work under high pressure and
temperature which may cause a guillotine rupture on the highly pressurized pipe during a …

The sudden increase in the operating pressure of nuclear power plants (NPPs) is due to the
water hammer phenomenon, which tends to produce a whipping effect that causes serious …

A linear lattice Boltzmann flux solver (LLBFS) is developed based on the high-precision
finite-volume method (FVM) and is used to simulate problems involving acoustic …

The expending global economy is expected to result in a shortage of mineral resources.
Deep-sea mining offers a promising solution to this problem by using the hydraulic lifting …
