An Experimental Investigation of Flow Across Tube Banks

Abstract

Flow across tube banks was investigated by surveys of total dynamic and static pressure by visualization of the flow through the use of titanium tetrachloride smoke, by thermocouple surveys of heated tubes, and by hot-wire surveys of both heated and unheated tubes. It was found that turbulence increased as the depth of the bank increased and that the broad wake behind each tube affected flow over the succeeding tubes.
