Description
Summary:This paper presents an unsteady flow theory for flow-induced vibration of tubes in crossflow. It includes a general description of motion-dependent fluid forces, characteristics of fluid-force coefficients, and mathematical models. The detailed results are presented for the constrained mode in the lift direction of various tube arrangements.
