CFD Simulation Modeling of Parallel Piping of Helium Gas Test in LNG Carrier Air Tightness Detection
In view of the helium gas test in Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG)carrier air tightness detection,the Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)simulation modeling of parallel piping is conducted.Based on the theory of fluid mechanics,a parallel piping model is established,the influence of branch pipe number,branch pipelength,pipe wall thickness,and inlet fluid pressure on the fluid velocity and fluid pressure of main pipe is analyzed,which can provide reference for the technology equipment development of parallel piping of multiple branch pipes.
