Journal ArticleDOI
A review of cross-flow induced vibrations in heat exchanger tube arrays
David S. Weaver,J.A. Fitzpatrick +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the state of understanding of the cross flow excitation mechanisms and design guidelines for tube-and-shell heat exchangers are reviewed and the research needs in this field are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow-Induced Vibrations in Power and Process Plant Components—Progress and Prospects
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview of progress in understanding of flow-induced vibration in power and process plant components is provided along with suggestions for future research on unresolved issues, including turbulence, vorticity shedding, fluidelastic instability and axial flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Theoretical Model for Fluid-Elastic Instability in Heat Exchanger Tube Bundles
J. H. Lever,David S. Weaver +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple theoretical model was developed from first principles for the fluidelastic instability in heat exchanger tube bundles, and a series of experiments were conducted to verify the basic assumption that only a single tube need be modeled in a flow channel which preserves the basic geometry of the array.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Dynamic Stability of Fluid-Conveying Pipes
David S. Weaver,T. E. Unny +1 more
Journal ArticleDOI
On the stability of heat exchanger tube bundles, part I: Modified theoretical model
J.H. Lever,David S. Weaver +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple theoretical model has been developed from first principles for cross flow induced fluid-elastic instabilities in heat exchanger tube bundles, which includes the effects of tube array pattern and pitch.
