Nonlinear dynamics of tubes carrying a pulsatile flow

The nonlinear dynamics of a cantilever tube conveying a pulsatile flow and undergoing planar motions is investigated. The mean flow is near its critical value at which the downward vertical position of the tube gets unstable by flutter and executes limit-cycle oscillations. The pulsations in the flow are assumed to be small and harmonic with frequency nearly twice that of the limit cycle. To study the nonlinear dynamics, the method of averaging is utilized and the governing partial differential equation is reduced to a dynamic system on the plane. These two first-order differential equations depend on three parameters and govern the dynamics of the amplitude of motion of the tube. The planar system is studied for its qualitative behaviour using ideas from the local bifurcation theory and a local bifurcation set in the parameter plane is constructed. Using ideas from codimension-two unfolding of singularities, this bifurcation set is further refined. The resulting partial bifurcation set and the associated...
