A mathematical model is presented for transient flow in a pipeline with fluid-structure interaction. Water hammer theory and equations of axial motion for the pipeline are employed and the Poisson, junction and transient shear stress couplings are taken into account, which give rise to four coupled non-linear, first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow and pipe motion. These equations are discretized in space using the Keller box scheme and the method of lines is employed to reduce the partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations. The resulting system is solved using a backward differentiation formulation method. The effect of transient shear stress on transient flow is investigated and the mechanisms underlying this effect are explored. The results revealed that the influence of transient shear stress can be significant and varies considerably, depending on the boundary conditions, viz, valve closure time.
