The nonlinear dynamics of elastic tubes conveying a fluid
The Kirchhoff equations for elastic tubes are modified to include the effect of fluid flow. Using the techniques of linear and nonlinear analysis specially developed for the Kirchhoff equations, the effect of the fluid flow on the basic twist-to-writhe instability is investigated. The results sugges...
