Abstract

We present numerical results for dynamical stability of loaded coaxial shells of revolution interacting with the internal fluid flow. The motion of the incompressible fluid is described in the framework of the theory of frictionless potential flow, whereas the static load acting on the shells is caused by the steady forces of viscous drag arising in the viscous turbulent flow in a closed channel. For shells with different boundary conditions, we study how the stability boundary is affected by the value of the gap between the shells for different versions of the outer shell rigidity and fluid flow. We show that, as in the case of unloaded coaxial shells, there is a significant deviation from the previous numerical and analytical results.
