This paper presents a comparison of distributed parameter models of uniform, rigid fluid transmission lines. Analytical solutions to five fluid transmission line models of differing complexity are compared. The theoretical frequency responses of a fluid-filled transmission line are compared with experimentally determined data. Effects of fluid parameters on the accuracy of predicted responses are evaluated.
