Abstract
Time scales are used to classify unsteady flow in liquid-filled pipes. Seven types of pipe flow are distinguished, with time scales ranging from infinity to zero. Nothing happens when the time scale tends to infinity: the flow is steady. Everything seems to happen when the timescale tends to zero: all (coupled) modes of vibration of liquid and pipe are excited. The complexity of mathematical models describing the phenomena increases as time scales become smaller.
