... as a starting point. The study consists of both experiments and theoretical analysis of a simplified single-flexible-tube array. Experimental tests are conducted in a wind tunnel on a reconfigurable tube bundle. The results show that fluidelastic instability is strongly dependent on the flexibility angle...

...Paul Feenstra; David S. Weaver; Zia Abdullah A wind tunnel study was carried out to investigate the fluidelastic stability of a model heat exchanger tube array subjected to a uniform cross-flow of air and a concentrated jet flow of air directed down a tube lane. The latter experiments were intended...
