      This document is based on some 40 years of research and development conducted at Chalk River Laboratories in the area of flow‐induced vibration. This technology development effort was largely supported by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and by the CANDU Owners Group (COG). It also received support from the Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Service (HTFS), the Centre d’Etudes Nucleaires de Saclay (CEN‐Saclay), the Pressure Vessel Research Council (PVRC) and the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS). The support of all these organizations is very gratefully acknowledged. Many people have contributed to this effort including colleagues from industry and universities. Recognizing that we will fail to acknowledge all of our partners, we have decided to name some of the key individuals and institutions.

      Visiting scientists, B.S. Kim, Korea Power Engineering Company Inc., Taejon, Korea; A. Yasuo, Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, Japan; and Z.L. Qiao, Xian Jiaotong University, China, contributed to the development of the flow‐induced vibration database.

      The contributors would also like to recognize the input of colleagues from the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories throughout the past 50 years: J. Albrecht, K.M. Boucher, W.A. Cook, T. Dickinson, P. Feenstra, E.G. Hagberg, Y. Han, G. Knowles, J. Mastorakos, J. McGregor, K. Moore, J.N. Patrick, P.J. Smith, Y. Sylvestre, J. H. Tromp, M.K. Weckwerth, and T. Whan. These individuals ably assisted with construction, instrumentation and installation of various flow loops and test sections, as well as copious data analysis.

      Finally, the authors wish to express our gratitude to our understanding partners in life, for allowing us to take the time to write this handbook and for their moral support.

      Excessive flow‐induced vibration must be avoided in process and nuclear system components. That is the purpose of this handbook. The term “process components” is used generally here to describe nuclear reactor internals, nuclear fuels, piping systems, and all shell‐and‐tube heat exchangers, including nuclear steam generators, power plant condensers, boilers, coolers, etc. Higher heat‐transfer performance often requires higher flow velocities and more structural supports. On the other hand, additional supports may increase pressure drop and costs. The combination of high flow velocities and inadequate structural support may lead to excessive tube vibration. This vibration can cause failures by fatigue or fretting wear. Failures are very undesirable in terms of repair costs and lost production, particularly for high‐capital‐cost plants such as nuclear power stations, petroleum refineries and oil exploitation platforms. To prevent these problems at the design stage, a thorough flow‐induced vibration analysis is recommended. Such analysis requires good understanding of the dynamic parameters and vibration excitation mechanisms that govern flow‐induced vibration.

      This handbook covers all relevant aspects of component vibration technology, namely: examples of vibration failures, flow analysis, and vibration excitation and damping mechanisms. The latter includes fluidelastic instability, periodic wake shedding, acoustic resonance, random turbulence, flow‐induced vibration analysis and fretting‐wear predictions.

      Chapter 2 is an overview of flow‐induced vibration technology. The reader should start with this chapter. In many cases, Chapter 2 will be sufficient to provide the required information. Each aspect of the technology is covered in detail in the succeeding chapters. Typically, each chapter includes a review of the state of the art, available laboratory data, brief review of theoretical considerations and modeling, parametric analysis, recommendations for design, and sample calculations.

      The performance of process components is often limited by excessive vibration in a localized area, e.g., near inlets, outlets, etc. The combination of detailed flow calculations and vibration technology allows the designer to avoid such problems. Flow velocities and support design can be optimized to allow maximum heat transfer in all regions of process components, resulting in higher heat‐transfer performance, less corrosion and fouling problems and reduced component size. The latter means capital cost reduction and a more competitive manufacturing industry.

      There are already several useful books on flow‐induced vibration, e.g. Au‐Yang (2001), Blevins (1990), Chen (1987), Kaneko et al (2014), Naudascher and Rockwell (1994), and Païdoussis (1998). So, why another one in the form of a handbook? This book is complementary to the above books for the following reasons. This book has greater emphasis on design guidelines. Much experimental data is presented in the
