Description

At the air duct of Xi'an Jiaotong University, which was established on the design parameters of steam generator for the 200 MW high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTR), the experimental study on the behavior of helical tube bundles vibration in steam generator, which was induced by low density cross flow, has been done. The problem such as the critical flow velocity at which fluid elastic instability phenomenon begin to occur, the reciprocal action on neighboring tubes in different helical radius, and that in the same helical radius etc., has been discussed in detail. The results provide bases for designing helium steam generator for HTR, and bases to advance theoretical study on flow induced helical tube bundles vibration too
