Flow-Induced Vibrations in Power and Process Plant Components—Progress and Prospects

Abstract
This paper provides a brief overview of progress in our understanding of flow-induced vibration in power and process plant components. The flow excitation mechanisms considered are turbulence, vorticity shedding, fluidelastic instability, axial flows, and two-phase flows. Numerous references are provided along with suggestions for future research on unresolved issues. [S0094-9930(00)01203-8]
