Acoustic pulsation analysis in pipes to evaluate acoustically induced vibration problems
Project Description: The project consists of the development of a numerical procedure, with experimental validation, for the analysis of acoustic pulsation and excessive vibrations in pipelines of oil processing units. The main result of this project is a computational procedure, in open source, which allows the determination of the vibroacoustic behavior of alternative compressor systems. The numerical methodology implemented differs from what is in commercial packages, because it innovates by optimizing the process for the proper analysis of the system in question, applying solution methods and contour conditions specific to the problem.
