Finite element analysis of fluid-structure interaction in buried liquid-conveying pipeline

Long distance buried liquid-conveying pipeline is inevitable to cross faults and under earthquake action, it is necessary to calculate fluid-structure interaction(FSI) in finite element analysis under pipe-soil interaction. Under multi-action of site, fault movement and earthquake, finite element model of buried liquid-conveying pipeline for the calculation of fluid structure interaction was constructed through combinative application of ADINA-parasolid and ADINA-native modeling methods, and the direct computing method of two-way fluid-structure coupling was introduced. The methods of solid and fluid modeling were analyzed, pipe-soil friction was defined in solid model, and special flow assumption and fluid structure interface condition were defined in fluid model. Earthquake load, gravity and displacement of fault movement were applied, also model preferences. Finite element research on the damage of buried liquid-conveying pipeline was carried out through computing fluid-structure coupling. The influences of pipe-soil friction coefficient, fault-pipe angle, and liquid density on axial stress of pipeline were analyzed, and optimum parameters were proposed for the protection of buried liquid-conveying pipeline.
