Analytical Solution of the Closed-Form Equations Governing the Hybrid Performance of a Tuned Liquid Column Gas Damper Equipped With a Variable Orifice by Yousef Shiri, Jafar Keyvani, Seyed Hossein Hoseini Lavassani

“…In this research, the new hybrid damper; "tuned liquid column gas damper equipped with variable orifice (H-O-TLCGD)" is introduced. The dominant mechanism for confronting with vibration in this damper is based on liquid movement, and the vibration energy is dissipated by the effects of fluid turbulence and friction caused by the local pressure drop of the orifice opening. …”
