Overview:
Flow-induced vibration (FIV) is a critical challenge in engineering, affecting piping systems, valves, and nuclear fuel bundles. This lecture will focus on the experimental investigation of FIV in tube arrays, commonly found in heat exchangers and steam generators, and the complex vibratory behaviors they experience under cross-flow conditions. Key experimental methods used to study FIV, including liquid, gas, and two-phase flow investigations, will be discussed. The lecture will also cover the impact of various parameters on vibration response, such as Reynolds number, tube spacing, and damping characteristics.
