Abstract This work proposes a numerical investigation on the occurrence of parametric excitation in the classical Benjamin problem, when the support of the articulated chain of pipes is subjected to a prescribed oscillatory motion. Equations of motion for an articulated chain composed of two rigid pipes ejecting fluid are derived. Floquet theory is applied to the linearized mathematical model, and curves of instability as functions of the parametric excitation (amplitude and frequency) are obtained for selected internal flow velocities. In addition to the linear analysis, maps (showing the post-critical response as a function of some control parameters) are computed using numerical integrations of the nonlinear model. Among other findings, this paper reveals that the presence of the internal flow significantly affects the stability of the trivial solution. Furthermore, the concomitant parametric excitation and internal flow effects lead to maps of post-critical response with a marked erosion, i.e., small variations in the parameters of the mathematical model have significant effects in the observed response.
