This paper aims at studying the axial vibration response characteristics of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) vibration of aircraft hydraulic pipe when considering the friction coupling. Based on the Brunone empirical model and the Zielke weighting function, an expression of fluid shear stress of the hydraulic pipeline is presented for a wide range of Reynolds number, and the friction model of the FSI 14-equation for high-speed and high-pressure hydraulic pipeline is modified. On this basis, a left-wing hydraulic pipeline of the C919 airplane is taken as the verification object and modeled, then the FSI vibration 14-equation is solved using frequency-domain transfer matrix method in MATLAB to analyze the modal and the axial vibration characteristics of the pipeline. Ultimately, a test experiment is given and discussed by being compared with the numerical simulation results, which confirmed the correctness of the friction model and demonstrated that the analytic accuracy of axial velocity response of FSI vibration could be improved by considering the friction coupling.
