The purpose of this analysis is to predict the vibration level of a pipe conveying a two-phase flowing fluid. Experiments were carried out with a horizontally supported U-type piping system, conveying an air-water two-phase flow in a steady state condition. A theoretical analysis is achieved using the transfer method for vibration responses of the system excited by the forces of traveling liquid piston and the momentum change of two-phase flow. Comparing experimental and theoretical studies, the author concluded that the vibrational behavior of piping systems conveying two-phase flowing fluid can be predicted quantitatively. 8 refs.
