Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

Petróleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) has used computational fluid dynamics (CFD), an analytical simulation tool for studying fluid mechanics, to determine possible causes of and solutions to ...

Abstract: Recently, cell spheroids, an in vitro 3D cell models are attracting large attention. Previously, a cell spheroid formation method based on vibration-induced flow (VIF) was proposed to ...

Abstract: we proposed a standard model to quantitatively calculate flow-induced vibration noise in the pipe for flow rate detection, in which the flow-induced vibration could be quantified by ...

An international research team has investigated the impact of wind-induced vibrations on solar modules and has found that wind-induced stress can have significant mechanical repercussions on PV arrays ...

Control valves experience significant reaction loads when they regulate choked flow. The highly restrictive, complex flow path of existing severe-service valves dissipates the forces from ...
