This paper performs a three-dimensional flow analysis and flow-induced vibration evaluation of a tube bundle for the low-pressure feedwater heater of a nuclear power plant. Using a commercial computational fluid dynamics software, CFX-4, a detailed shell side flow analysis model is first developed and the near-field cross flow around different locations of the tube bundle within a feedwater heater...
