Analysis of vibration of tube bundles in cross-flow

Abstract
The experiment was performed to measure the flow-induced vibration of tubes in cross flow and to study the effect of different experimental parameters, natural frequency, tube patterns and positions of the missing tube, on the tube vibration. The vibration mode of structures was investigated by root-mean-square values of tube displacements, dominant response frequencies, power spectral densities and orbits. The vibration signals in various velocities were used to analyze the mode and mechanism of the tube vibration by examining the interrelations between power spectral densities and orbits of the tube vibration. It was found that the stability thresholds were higher at the higher natural frequencies of the tubes and approach angles of the flow. Missing tube would affect the stability of local flow field, so that the surrounding tubes became more unstable. For each array pattern, the dominant response frequency of tube was changed with the flow velocity. It should be associated with the flow field, the mode and mechanism of vibration. As the tube frequency jumped, it should be the change of vibrating mode and mechanism. From the spectra and orbits of the tube vibrations, it can be found that the dominant frequencies are more complex at the high flow velocity.
