Flow-induced instability and nonlinear dynamics of a tube array considering the effect of a clearance gap

Fluidelastic instability and nonlinear dynamics of tube bundles is a key issue in a steam generator. Especially, once the post-instability motion of the tube becomes larger than the clearance gap to other tubes, effective contact or impact between the tubes under consideration and the other tube ine...
