title: Isentropic wave propagation in a viscous fluid with uniform flow confined by a lined pipeline.
abstract: The axisymmetric wave propagation in a viscous fluid with the presence of a uniform flow confined by a circular pipeline is investigated. Particular considerations are imposed on the features of the acoustic wave propagating in the liquid where the thermal conduction is neglected. The boundary constraints at the wall are reasonably discussed for both lined-walled and rigid-walled pipelines. Numerical comparisons of the phase velocity and wave attenuation among three different boundary configurations (rigid wall, steel-composed wall, and aluminum-composed wall) are presented. Meanwhile, the effects of the fluid viscosity and acoustic impedance are coherently analyzed. In the end, parametric analysis of the influence of the acoustic impedance is given in the case of a steel-composed pipeline.
