Evaluation of Techniques to Preduct Flow-Induced Tube Vibration in a Preheat Steam Generator (PWR)

摘要

A methodology is presented for combining steam generator geometry and operating conditions with structural and fluid dynamics to predict the location and severity of flow-induced tube damage in a preheat generator. Predictions are compared with the trends of laboratory data on separate effects and with field observations of damage. (ERA citation 08:035792)
