Abstract

This paper investigates experimentally the wave scattering effect of rough blockages in the pipeline and its impacts on the transient analysis for pipe systems. Two experimental configurations of rough blockages (hard gravels and fibrous materials) are considered in this study to examine the wave scattering effect on transient wave propagation. The results obtained in the experiments are used to validate and verify the findings of previous numerical and analytical studies. The results of this study can provide fundamental understanding and profound implications to practical applications such as transient-based pipe system design and pipe blockage detection.
