Characterization of Dynamic Slug Flow Induced Loads in Pipelines

The flow of a liquid mass, i.e. a ‘slug’, inside thin-walled spanning pipelines, produces a lateral traversing force. This moving force initiates dynamic stresses within the structure and is often critical when assessing structural fatigue. Moving slugs in spanning pipelines may be modeled as either...
