Abstract
Laminar pipe flow of compressible fluids has been studied by numerous authors in the past. While the one-dimensional wave equation was sufficient for the early work on wave-propagation and waterhammer, the second order effects of viscosity, heat-transfer, etc. were introduced in the early 1930s. This two-dimensional theory leads to the concept of frequency-dependent friction which is crucial for the simulation of fluid power transmission lines. The aim of this paper is to provide reliable experimental results of a hydraulic pipeline using a test rig with simple boundary conditions and a rigid mounting of the pipe.
