| Summary: | The paper presents the numerical study of vibrating multiple flexibly-mounted cylinders in a triangular rod bundle. Behavioural trends of six different clusters of oscillating rods have been analysed. The influence of neighbour cylinders on the central cylinder oscillation characteristics is analysed. Finite volume solver of open source computational fluid dynamics is used to calculate the fluid flow in the channel with the cylinder array. Built-in six degree-of-freedoms solver is utilised to simulate cylinder movement. Oscillating cylinders have two degrees-of-freedom. The obtained results are compared with numerical results available in the literature. |
