Vibration of nuclear power plant components can cause fretting wear and fatigue that eventually lead to component failure. Flexible, high-aspect-ratio under flow, such as the wire-wrapped cylindrical fuel elements in a liquid metal-cooled fast reactor core, are particularly susceptible vibration due their low natural frequencies. The flow-induced vibrations experienced by tend be random amplitu...

The flow behavior inside the shrouded disk system is of importance in appropriate design of turbomachinery cavities and turbine test cell hydraulics dynamometer. The turbulent incompressible flow is analyzed for the shrouded disk system with axial clearance. The flow core behaves as a Batchelor type structure when a weak inflow is imposed on the disk cavity. By increasing the inflow, the centra...

The parametric resonance of the axial vibrations of a cantilever pipe conveying harmonically perturbed two-phase flow is investigated using the method of multiple scale perturbation. The nonlinear coupled and uncoupled planar dynamics of the pipe are examined for a scenario when the axial vibration is parametrically excited by the pulsating frequencies of the two phases conveyed by the pipe. Aw...
