No worries, I am simulating a pipeline and just wanted to add feature that allowed the user to set the maximum flow of the pipeline before vibration begins. Apparently it is a problem for them. They just gave me a graph with a pv2 curve for P vs flow rate. I thought it looked to simplistic...

Thanks for that, I have, however, seen rules where for a given density x velocity squared value a maxium flow rate is given. Is this an in house rule of thumb or a more established corelation? Daniel

Is there an equation/method for determiining the maximum velocity/flow rate of fluid in pipeline before vibration begins?

Is there a simple equation to calculated the maximium fluid velocity/flow rate in pipeline before vibration begins?

I want to know how you calculate the maxium flow rate in a pipeline before vibration begins? Is there a simple correlation ( i.e pressure vs velocity or max Re?)
