Abstract

The stability of an elastic circular cylindrical shell of revolution interacting with a compressible liquid (gas) flow having both axial and tangential components is analyzed. The behavior of the fluid is studied within the framework of potential theory. The elastic shell is described in terms of the classical theory of shells. Numerical solution of the problem is performed using a semianalytical finite element method. Results of numerical experiments for shells with different boundary conditions and geometric dimensions are presented. The effects of fluid rotation on the critical flow velocity and the effect of axial fluid flow on the critical angular velocity of fluid rotation were estimated.
