Abstract
This paper reports the results of the numerical simulation of a loosely-supported heat exchanger tube excited by turbulence. The effect of support clearance, support geometry, and flow orientation are investigated. The finite element method is utilized to model the vibrations and impact dynamics. Three different friction models are examined to account for the tube/support friction forces. Issues regarding the efficiency and accuracy of the different techniques are discussed. Tube response and tube/support interaction parameters, such as the impact force, the contact ratio, and most importantly, the integrated product of the contact force and the sliding distance (work rate), are presented. The study indicates that some flow orientations and support geometries provide favourable support conditions for higher tube sliding motion against its support and therefore, potentially greater wear rates under service conditions.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
