Water hammer in a viscoelastic pipe

  • Published:
Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of water hammer in a pipe made of material whose mechanical behavior is described by the Boltzmann model has been solved numerically on a Minsk-22 computer using Fourier transforms. The phase velocity and phase difference functions for low-density poly-ethylene over a broad range of vibration frequencies are used in the solution.
