The relation between vortex shedding characteristics inside of in-line tube banks and that of cavity without acoustic resonance was experimentally examined. We measured the sound pressure level, the phase delay of acoustic pressures, the spectrum of velocity fluctuation and the gap velocity. As a result, the vortex shedding of S_t=0.15 were generated inside of the tube banks and the cavity without acoustic resonance. The velocity fluctuation of S_t=0.15 inside of the cavity downstream of fifth row tubes was larger compared with the results of no cavities. The existence of cavities of tube pitch ratio of 3.44 inside of in-line tube banks caused the resonance of S_t=0.15 component.Read More
