Deepen Your Understanding: With full access to the source code, you can explore the numerical methods, dissect the implementation, and adapt it for your specific needs.

Enhance Your Publications: Strengthen your research by validating your findings against a model proven to match published, state-of-the-art results.

This is an indispensable tool for graduate students, academic researchers, and R&D engineers working in fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, and pipeline engineering.

The base paper presents the development of an axisymmetric finite element for analyzing the dynamic response of pipes subjected to water hammer phenomena. The research, published in the Journal of Fluids and Structures (2020), addresses the critical need for accurate prediction of pipe structural behavior under transient hydraulic conditions. The article encompasses several sections containing heavy MATLAB coding.
In the current MATLAB project, the second section of the paper, which is the static analysis of the pipe, is coded and validated.
