Abstract

Heat exchanger tube array in a heat recovery steam generator is exposed to the hot exhaust gas flow and it could cause the flow induced vibration, which could damage the heat exchanger tube array. It is needed for the structural safe operation of the heat exchanger to establish the characteristics of flow induced vibration in the tube array. The researches for the flow induced vibration of typical heat exchangers have been conducted and the nondimensional PSD(Power Spectral Density) function with the Strouhal number, fD/U, had been derived by experimental method. The present study examined the results of the previous experimental researches for the nondimensional PSD characteristics by CFD analysis and the basis for the application of flow induced vibration to the heat recovery steam generator tube array would be prepared from the present CFD analysis. For the previous mentioned purpose, the present CFD analysis introduced a single circular cylinder and calculated with the unsteady laminar flow over the cylinder. The characteristics of vortex shedding and lift fluctuation over the cylinder was investigated. The derived nondimensional PSD was compared with the results of the previous experimental researches and the characteristics of lift PSD over a single circular cylinder was established from the present CFD study.

배열회수 보일러의 전열관군은 외부에 고온의 배기가스가 흐르면서 유동 유발 진동을 야기 시키며 배열회수 보일러의 전열관군에서 파손을 야기할 수 있어서 열교환기의 구조적 안정성을 위해 열교환기의 전열관군에서 유동 유발 진동 특성을 규명할 필요가 있다. 일반적인 열교환기 전열관군에서 유동 유발 진동에 관한 실험적 연구는 기존에 많이 진행되어 오고 있으며 유동 유발 진동에 대한 무차원 PSD(Power Spectral Density) 함수를 무차원 주파수인 Strouhal 수, fU/U의 함수로 도출된 실험적 결과들이 도출되어 있다. 본 연구는 열교환기 전열관군에서 유동 유발 진동에 관한 기존의 연구들의 결과를 전산유체해석을 통해 검증하고 배열회수 보일러의 전열관군의 유동 유발 진동 특성에 적용하기 위한 기반을 마련하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 것을 위해 단일 원관에서 비정상 상태 유동해석을 수행하여 주기적인 와동 발생 특성과 원관에서의 양력 변화 특성을 살펴보았다. 또한 원관에서 양력 변동 특성으로부터 유동 유발 진동에 따른 PSD 특성 결과를 도출하여 기존의 연구들과 비교를 통해 원관 주위의 PSD 특성을 정립하였다.
