The offshore oil and gas industry uses corrugated pipes because of their flexibility. Gas flowing within these pipes interacts with the corrugations and generates noise. This noise is of concern because it is of sufficient amplitude to cause pipework vibration with the threat of fatigue and pipe breakages. This paper examines the conditions that give rise to the large noise levels. These conditions, for the occurrence of noise, are investigated using an eigenvalue approach, which involves the effect of damping due to losses from the pipe boundaries and pipe friction. The investigation is conducted in terms of reflection conditions and shows why only few of the very many possible natural frequencies are selected. The conditions for maximum noise response are also investigated by means of a nonlinear model of vortex shedding. Here, an approach is developed in which the net power generated by each wavelength is calculated.
