   Abstract- This paper deals with the mathematical model and Computational analysis of flow induced vibration of Rocket Engine Test Facility. In this set up, the main components of piping elements which causes vibration is angle type valve. Experimental study and analysis of flow induced vibration is to be carried out by study the effect of turbulence of gas flow in the piping system during the course of sub cooling of flight static fire test or flow trial. Mathematical Model of pinned- pinned pipe carrying fluid has been developed. Governing Equation of motion for pipe conveying fluid of real system has been derived. The critical fluid velocity has been calculated by analytical approach.

   The vibration structure of pipeline is modeled by using CATIA software as per specifications and the effect of turbulence of gas flow in the piping element is analysed by using Fluent and ANSYS software. The main piping element which causing Flow Induced Vibration is angle type valve. Analytically and computationally the dynamic behavior of fluid flow through this valve is studied. Modal Analysis has been carried out and found the natural frequency of six mode shape. Experimental studies/flow trials are to be carried out to validate the analytical and computational results.

   1. INTRODUCTION

      The failure of components or parts occurred by the reversal cyclic stress which is well below the yield stress of the material. This type of failure is called a fatigue. The vibration of structure or components is subjected to cyclic stress and that will lead to Fatigue failure. The vibration caused by a fluid flowing in or around a body is known as Flow Induced Vibration (FIV). FIV best describe the interaction that occurs between the fluid's dynamic forces

      Considering straight stub pipe with pinned end taken bending moment in to account for governing equation of motion of pipe. Bong Soo Kim, Young Ki Kim and Jung woon Choi[7] made the analytical study of flow induced vibration in consideration with cooling effect. The developed the equation of motion by the relationship between pipe structure and fluid pressure and modified the equation motion to account the coriolis force. Mao Qing, Zhang Jinghui, LuoYushan, Wang Haijin and DuanQuan[10] done a experimental study for studying orifice induced wall pressure fluctuations and vibration in a pipeline. one of the main flow induced vibration sources in the pipe flow circuit is a singularity that disturbs the flow, such as a pump, valve and orifice etc. PSD is used to define the fluctuating pressure. The characteristics of pressure fluctuations before and after the orifice plate and natural frequency of the pipe are used to build the mathematical model.

      Inference from the literature survey, the natural frequency of the system is affected by velocity of fluid flow and density of fluid flow and stiffness, modulus of elasticity of pipe material and length of the pipe.

      Many researchers are done analysis in one dimensional fluid flow but very few researchers are attempted 3-Dimensional fluid flow analysis and very few researchers are done analysis in Fluid Structure Interaction. But any real physical system, the fluid flow is 3- Dimensional and noticed that there is a research gap in this advance development field hence I have been studying in this paper.

      2. Computational Method

         Model of Pipe Flow Configuration

         The Computational Model of pipe flow configuration is developed by CATIA Software. There is a valve pressure boundary at all the end of the pipe and assuming that the valves are as a fixed support because of Lumped mass and 3 clamps are taken as pin point supports. The Structural Model Analysis has done in ANSYS Workbench 14.5 Software. Solver used is ANSYS Mechanical APDL. Six mode shape and corresponding natural frequencies are found and validate the Mode Shape 2 with the analytical results.

         Result :The maximum deformation occurs at the top pipe configuration is 0.074019 mm and the corresponding natural frequency is 27.407 Hz

         Analytical result of Natural Frequency at Mode Shape 2 is 27.912.

         Accuracy: 1.8 %, hence the computational results are validated.
