Abstract

A study is made of the intensity of a hydroshock in a two-phase gas-liquid mixture in a slug flow regime in the case when a pipeline is shut off by a liquid slug. The intensity is studied as a function of the length of the shut-off section of the liquid slug, the content of gas bubbles in the liquid slugs, and the pipeline shut-off law, and with allowance for the shock-wave character of the process [1, 2]. The calculated data using the shock-wave theory agree well with the experimental data of [3] and, unlike the results of the linear theory of [3], make it possible to determine the intensity of the hydroshock not only in the case of weak waves, but also in the case of waves of moderate intensity.
