In this study, velocity distribution characteristics by location and uniformity according to exit straight length in a 180° mixed pipes were numerically analyzed using RSM (Reynolds Stress Model) turbulent model by changing various flow parameters such as working fluids, inlet air velocity etc. As a result of it, the working fluids characteristics was highly indicated by the viscous force difference, the maximum velocity points according to main pipe’s inlet velocity were indicated when 90° sectional location was distributed at X/D=0.5~0.6 region and 180° sectional location was distributed at Y/D=0.5 region. And the flow characteristics according to branch pipe’s inlet velocity when 90° sectional location was distributed at X/D=0.4~0.6 region and 180° sectional location was distributed at Y/D=0.5 region. Based on the results that the most stable exit straight length in flow uniformity was indicated at L/D=25~30 region, 40D is suggested as the effective measurement distance in the straight pipe downstream curved pipe of mixed pipe.

The damping effects on stabilities of a simply supported pipe conveying fluid is investigated using the complexification-averaging method. The flow is assumed to vary harmonically about a mean speed. Unstable conditions of a piping system included with the viscous and material damping are analytically obtained for primary, secondary and combination parametric resonances. The primary and secondary resonances occur when the frequency of flow fluctuation is close to one and two times the natural frequency. And when this frequency is close to the sum of any two natural frequencies, combination resonances occur. The effects of damping parameters on the regions of three parametric resonances are discussed.
