Abstract: This paper represents the first stage of a fundamental investigation of the vibration phenomena induced in heat exchanger bundles subject to a cross-flow. Using aerodynamic force coefficient data, ...

Abstract: A quasi-static fluidelastic analysis is developed for a single flexible cylinder surrounded by rigid cylinders and subject to cross-flow. Although the analysis is quasi-static, it includes a ...

Abstract: Previous experiments on a five-riser cluster in steady cross-flow have indicated that for certain orientations of the cluster the peripheral, or wing, risers can undergo violent flow-induced ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical model, involving the superposition of the empirically determined cross flow about a cylinder in an array and the analytically determined vibration-induced flow ...

Abstract: The fluidelastic response of a single flexible cylinder in an array of rigid cylinders, subject to cross-flow, has been investigated. Experiments were done in two wind tunnels on three different ...

Abstract: In fluidelastic analyses involving a time delay (or phase lag) between the motions of cylinders in an array and the resultant unsteady fluid forces on the cylinders, a succession of ...
