Fluidelastic Analysis of Tube Bundle Vibration in Cross-Flow

Simulation of cross-flow-induced vibration of cylinder arrays by surface vorticity method

“…12 together with the experimental results of a multi-flexible single row of cylinders compiled by Price (1995) and the analytical results of a single row of cylinders with T=D ¼ 1:33 using the unsteady model (Tanaka et al, 2002). It can be observed that the present model reasonably estimated the fluidelastic instability boundary for S G ¼ 1:29.…”

Fluidelastic instability tests on an array of tubes preferentially flexible in the flow direction

“…Fluidelastic instability is now known to be strongly dependent on coupling between neighboring tubes for its manifestation (Chen, 1983;Tanaka et al, 2002). It should come as no surprise that increased flexibility in the array results in reduced fluidelastic stability.…”

An assessment method for unstable vibration in multispan tube bundles

“…The condition of fluidelastic instability will occur when the amplitudes and phase angles adjust themselves so that work is done on the tubes by the fluid forces. Tanaka et al (2002). Pitch-to-diameter ratio 1.33.…”

“…In an alternative approach, experimental efforts have been made to measure these coefficients. The most complete set of data has been collected by Tanaka et al (2002) while other data has been collected by Chen et al (1998) and Goyder and Teh (1984).…”
