Effect of Angle of Attack on Fluidelastic Instability of a Rotated Triangular Tube Bundle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the operation of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, vibration of the tubes can be induced by fluid flowing over the tube array in cross flow. The region of concern in Steam Generators (SG) is the upper most U-bend region where the flow crosses a large number of tubes which can cause significant hydraulic resistance. This hydraulic resistance forces the flow to change direction. From a fluidelastic instability point of view, the tube bundle is excited by oblique cross flow. The purpose of this paper is to examine the instability phenomena in a rotated triangular tube bundle subjected to oblique single phase cross flow. In this present work tests are conducted in a wind tunnel on a rotated triangle tube array. Fluidelastic instability results are in agreement with what was expected. The results show that fluidelastic instability is strongly dependent on the angle of attack. The results also show that, generally, the elimination of bundle flexibility in the direction transverse to the flow, greatly affects the stability behavior of the array.

Full frame distilled prediction
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
