Experimental and numerical studies of turbulent flow in an in-line tube bundles

In the present paper an experimental and a numerical simulation of the turbulent flow in an in-line tube bundles have been performed. The experiments were carried out using a subsonic wind tunnel. The pressure distributions along the tubes (22 circumferential pressure taping) were determined for a v...
