Experiments on Acoustic Resonance in Heat Exchanger Tube Bundles

Vorticity shedding and acoustic resonance in tube bundles

“…Several acoustic damping criteria have been developed by Chen (1968), Fitzpatrick (1986), Ziada et at. (1989b), Blevins & Bressler (1992) and Eisinger et at. (1992).…”

Flow Periodicity and Acoustic Resonance in Parallel Triangle Tube Bundles

“…Finally, reference should be made to several design criteria which can be used to predict whether an acoustic resonance will actually occur or not, given that the critical #ow velocity is within the operating range of the plant. The most recent criterion was originally formulated by Blevins & Bressler (1993) and further developed by Eisinger et al (1996). Comparison with these criteria however is outside the scope of the present study which focuses on the #ow phenomena generating periodic #ow excitation and acoustic resonance.…”

An in-Depth Study of Vortex Shedding, Acoustic Resonance and Turbulent Forces in Normal Triangle Tube Arrays

“…As a result of recent research efforts (Weaver, Fitzpatrick & Elkashlan 1986;Fitzpatrick 1985;Ziada, Oengo¨ren & Buhlmann 1989a b;Blevins & Bressler 1992;Eisinger, Sullivan & Francis 1992, Strouhal number charts for vortex shedding and acoustic resonance, acoustic damping criteria and unsteady force data for in-line tube bundles have been substantially improved. A summary of these aspects can be found in Chen (1990), and Weaver (1993).…”

“…Although the paper deals with the mechanism of acoustic resonances, it does not develop a damping criterion to predict whether a resonance would or would not materialize. Blevins & Bressler (1992) and Eisinger et al (1994) have developed several criteria that can be used for this purpose.…”
