The effect of attaching a splitter plate to the circular tube on the performance of a heat
exchanger with a circular tube bank is investigated. A CFD model is developed to simulate …

Tube bundle heat exchangers have been recognized as the most efficient means of thermal
exchange. The staggered row method can enhance the performance of a heat exchanger …

With the increasing requirements for heat transfer efficiency, large-scale and high flow
speed are the two critical issues for the common heat exchanger design. The failure of heat …

A two-dimensional tube bundles fluid–structure coupling model was developed using the
CFD approach, with a rigid body motion equation and the Newmark integral method. The …

Flow induced vibrations of one single cylinder have been investigated widely, however,
many failures have been observed in multi-neighboring-vibrating cylinders rather than one …

Helical tube steam generators are often used in nuclear power plants because of their
compact structure and high heat transfer efficiency. The impact of the internal fluid causes …

This paper examines the aerodynamic noise characteristics of heat exchanger tube bundles,
with the objective of exploring the frequency and directional features of noise under …

The phenomenon of fluid structure interaction exists widely in nuclear facilities, and it is of
great significance to the safety of nuclear facilities. Xi'an Pulsed Reactor (XAPR) is a pool …
