RISMeasurement of Steam-Generator-Tube Vibration Damping Caused by Anti-Vibration-Bar Supports
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In 2013, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (now Canadian Nuclear Laboratories) experimentally measured the damping of a straight tube with a variety of tube supports to examine low-frequency damping. These tests were motivated ...
Investigations of In-Plane Fluidelastic Instability in a Multispan U-Bend Tube Array—Part I: Tests in Air Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The tubes in the U-bend region of a recirculating type of nuclear steam generator are subjected to cross-flow of a two-phase mixture of steam and water. There is a concern that these tubes may experience flow-induced ...
Investigations of In-Plane Fluidelastic Instability in a Multispan U-Bend Tube Array—Part II: Tests in Two-Phase Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tests to study fluidelastic instability (FEI) in an array of U-bend tubes were recently completed in the multispan U-Bend test rig at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories. These tests were sponsored by the Electric Power Research ...
