..., employing a combination of experimental and numerical methodologies [ 14 – 17 ]. In a nuclear steam generator, the U-bend region of the tube array is exposed to cross flows, which can result in tube vibrations. These vibrations can be induced through flow excitation mechanisms, including turbulent...

... fluidelastic instability streamwise in-plane FEI nuclear steam generators tube bundle Tube arrays have applications in heat exchangers, boilers, and nuclear steam generators. The pursuit of greater efficiency in these devices has led to the adoption of more flexible tube arrays and increased flow...
