A method of stabilizing the self-excited oscillation of a cantilevered pipe conveying fluid because of non–self-adjointness is proposed theoretically and experimentally. Complex eigenvalues denoting the natural frequency and damping of the system vary with an increase in the flow velocity. When the flow velocity exceeds a critical value, the flow-generated damping becomes negative and the pipe is dynamically destabilized. The complex eigenvalues with respect to flow velocity are affected by boundary conditions. We, thus, propose a stabilization control actuating the boundary condition. The stabilization method is carried out by applying a bending moment proportional to the bottom displacement of the pipe. The effect of the proposed control method is shown by investigating the stability for the three lowest modes of the system depending on the feedback gain. It is theoretically clarified that the critical flow velocity is increased by the proposed control method. Furthermore, experiments are performed using a fluid conveying pipe with two piezoactuators at the downstream end. The piezoactuators apply a bending moment at the downstream end of the pipe according to the theoretically proposed method. Experimental results verify that the proposed stabilization method suppresses the self-excited oscillation.

This paper proposes and develops a new non-contact active feedback control of leakage-flow-induced sheet flutter in a narrow passage, by injection and suction of fluid at inlet or outlet of the passage. The strategy of this active control technique is that the active feedback, which is by the activation of the injection/suction of the fluid at the inlet or outlet of the passage, suppresses the original source of the self-exciting fluid force acting on the structure, i.e., cancels the self-excited feedback mechanism. In this paper, the effective suppression of the leakage-flow-induced sheet flutter by the active feedback control technique is demonstrated experimentally. A flexible sheet, as a controlled object, is subjected to fluid flow in a narrow passage. The leakage-flow-induced flutter occurs to the flexible sheet in the translational motion over the critical flow velocity. The leakage-flow-induced sheet flutter is actively controlled and suppressed by the activation of injection/suction of the fluid at the inlet or outlet of the passage. The critical flow velocity under the controlled condition is examined with varying the controller gain and phase-shift between the injection/suction of the fluid and the sensor (vibration displacement) signal of the flexible sheet. As a result, it is indicated experimentally that the active feedback control technique increases the critical flow velocity, and suppress the leakage-flow-induced sheet flutter effectively. Moreover, the control performance is examined experimentally, and stabilization mechanism by the active feedback control is discussed.

In the agriculture, water transportation and distribution by pressure flows in pipelines is one of the main activities for irrigation of agro-cultures. Depending on the exploitation conditions, a differing flow regimes are formed - laminar, turbulent and transitional regime, according to the value of Reynold”s number, with lengthwise-variable water quantity. In view of surveillance and inspecting the efficiency of a given pipeline net for irrigation, it is necessary to describe and define the processes of pressure flows in pipelines in depending on flow velocity. The degree of efficiency of transportation and distributing the water for irrigation, realizing by pipelines, is dependent on the hydraulic resistance and from the flow regimes, as well as other factors. For this purpose, the paper proposes relationships for determination of the boundaries of the self-realizing flow regimes along the pipelines for irrigation.

An investigation of the mechanism responsible for the self-excited oscillations of a harmonium reed is presented. Experiments show that the amplitude of vibration of the reed grows exponentially, and measurements of the growth rate as a function of the flow past the reed are reported. Flow visualization studies lead to the conclusion that jet or wake instability is not important in exciting the reed vibration. An analysis of the flow around the reed as an unsteady potential flow results in the evaluation of the aerodynamic forces exciting the reed. The analysis shows that the pressure which excites the reed motion is of the order of $\rho U_0\dot{a}$, where U0 is the flow velocity and $\dot{a}$ is the reed velocity.
