Top tips for flow induced vibration: Good reference material ???

[jamesbanda]

hi,

i'm looking for a good reference material for using simulation packages to reduce flow induced vibration..i normally.
1. change baffle type to double segmental
2. increase tube ID , from 19mm to 25mm
3. remove tubes from the window..
4. look at nozzle sizes..

I'm looking for a good reference guide and recommendations
