Instability characteristics of fluidelastic instability of tube rows in crossflow

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5764498· OSTI ID:5764498
An experimental study is reported to investigate the jump phenomenon in critical flow velocities for tube rows with different pitch-to-diameter ratios and the excited and intrinsic instabilities for a tube row with a pitch-to-diameter ratio of 1.75. The experimental data provide additional insights into the instability phenomena of tube arrays in crossflow. 9 refs., 10 figs.
