Description

This paper presents the results of a series of tests performed on two U-bend tube models subjected to water cross-flow. These models are representative of a PWR steam generator. The first one simulates the innermost part of the bundle, the second one the external part of it. The main results discussed in this paper are the spectral characteristics of turbulent excitation in single phase cross flow, fluidelastic instability and non linear interaction between tubes and tube supports.
