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 …

A Finite-Volume scheme for the numerical computations of compressible single-and two-
phase flows in flexible pipelines is proposed based on an approximate Godunov-type …

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 fluid-structure interaction numerical model has been established to investigate the
whipping effect on high energy pipe in this study. The validation test has been performed by …

Abstract A 1D/3D Finite-Volume coupling is proposed for the Euler/Homogeneous
Equilibrium Model equations. The present approach is based on the Finite-Volume …

The objective of this study is to simulate the propagation of the shock wave in water due to
an explosion. The study is part of a global research program on the development of an …

This work presents an extension of the fluid transient analysis to include the elasto-
viscoplastic behavior of the pipe material. A previously developed quasi-2D flow model is …

To investigate the whipping effect on the L-shaped main steam pipe utilized in the marine
steam systems, the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method is utilized to numerically analyze …

To analyze the dynamic characteristics of whipping behavior induced by the circumferential
fracture of high energy pipes, a numerical model of the piping system was presented based …

This paper deals with the development of a model for concrete subjected to dynamic loads.
Shock waves are generated by Pulsed Arc Electro-hydraulic Discharges (PAED) in water …
