Fluid dynamics and structural dynamics for pipes

of power plants, pipelines and chemical plants with foreign and own medium controlled isolation, safety and return valves.

The following external loadings that can act on the piping system can be calculated:

Own weight, equivalent static earthquake loading
Impeded heat expansion
End point displacement, e.g. component movement
Applied loads such as: Individual, line, wind loads
System deformations due to internal pressure
Response spectrum loading in 3 orthogonal directions with any desired fields of influence
Excitation over time with non-harmonic function, e.g. water hammer calculation
Excitation over time with direct coupling to the KEDRU fluid dynamic program
Excitation over time according to static radial excursion
Fatigue analyses
Blow-off processes in steam and water systems
Turbine emergency shut-downs
Feed-water pipe breaks
Pump failure
Valve and flap opening and closing
Static and earthquake calculations, fatigue analyses
Emergency shut-downs in power stations: Control rods medium controlled
Jet forces due to broken pipes
Forces on walls and deflection protection devices
Breakage of primary pipes in a pressurised water reactor
Specification for the dimensioning of ventilation valves
Dimensioning of pipeline cross-sections

Fixed points, containment leadthroughs, supports, valve housings, T-pieces of pipes in power stations
Earthquake calculations Reactor pressure vessel with baffles, containment,
Valve housing, sliding roof on a car: crank guidance
Airbag: Air generator (compressed air tank), motor coach engine suspension, 6-cylinder engine block: Temperature loading, ball cage of a ball bearing plus many more
Aeroplane crash on a containment and charged particles against reinforced concrete material model for reinforced concrete Reactor vessel bursting protection

Hydrogen explosion in condenser at the Gundremmingen power station
Explosions: Underwater explosion: Fluid-structure linked; propane explosion outside
Acoustic, exhaust silencer: For diesel engines including emissions from the combustion chamber via the outlet valve and noise dissipation
