UDC 532.5.52

Certain general propositions of the hydrodynamics of flow 
in an elastic pipeline are considered. The momentum equation for the 
flow under study has been derived. The fundamental possibility of 
solving the equations of hydrodynamics in an elastic pipeline in the 
form of solitary traveling waves has been shown. The influence of 
the viscosity of the liquid on the pulsed regime of flow has been 
investigated.
