Correlation Between Vibration Excitation Forces and the Dynamic Characteristics of Two-Phase Cross Flow in a Rotated-Triangular Tube Bundle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two-phase cross flow exists in many shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Flow-induced vibration excitation forces can cause tube motion that will result in long-term fretting wear or fatigue. Detailed flow and vibration excitation force measurements in tube bundles subjected to two-phase cross flow are required to understand the underlying vibration excitation mechanisms. Some of this work has already been done. The distributions of both void fraction and bubble velocity in rotated-triangular tube bundles were obtained. Somewhat unexpected but significant quasiperiodic forces in both the drag and lift directions were measured. The present work aims at understanding the nature of such unexpected drag and lift quasiperiodic forces. An experimental program was undertaken with a rotated-triangular array of cylinders subjected to air/water flow to simulate two-phase mixtures. Fiber-optic probes were developed to measure local void fraction. Both the dynamic lift and drag forces were measured with a strain gage instrumented cylinder. The investigation showed that the quasiperiodic drag and lift forces are generated by different mechanisms that have not been previously observed. The quasiperiodic drag forces appear related to the momentum flux fluctuations in the main flow path between the cylinders. The quasiperiodic lift forces, on the other hand, are mostly correlated to oscillations in the wake of the cylinders. The quasiperiodic lift forces are related to local void fraction measurements in the unsteady wake area between upstream and downstream cylinders. The quasiperiodic drag forces correlate well with similar measurements in the main flow stream between cylinders.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
