ESDU 79025 discusses the mechanisms that cause flow-induced response and outlines various methods by which the response can be reduced. It then reviews the parameters that affect response and indicates their relative importance. The flow velocity@ velocity profile and turbulence are considered together with cylinder material@ geometry@ and mass and stiffness distribution. The appropriate non-dimensional groups are introduced to assist the user to apply data obtained for one set of circumstances to a different set of conditions. Finally@ the information available in 85 sources of experimental data in the literature is reviewed in a systematic tabular presentation. In each case@ the configuration and geometry of the cylinder group is indicated@ the construction of the cylinders is specified@ the flow parameters listed@ and a clear indication of the type of data presented is given. With that information the user can select the test conditions most closely comparable with the problem under consideration@ and can then assess the response likely to be met.
