ASME 2020 Fluids Engineering Division’s Summer Meeting
AP Dynamics was present at the 2020 Fluids Engineering Division’s Summer Meeting (FEDSM) conference. Richard Lozowy and Mario Forcinito presented the paper titled “On the Potential for Low-Frequency Control Valve Vibrations Being Caused by Upstream Oscillating Dean Vortices” uses large-eddy simulation to investigate flow-induced oscillations in pipelines at a natural gas compressor station.
Although the work was based on a real industrial application, it pushed the boundaries of scientific understanding for the interaction between Dean vortices and the downstream piping geometry.
