description This paper examines the aerodynamic noise characteristics of heat exchanger tube bundles, with the objective of exploring the frequency and directional features of noise under nonacoustic resonance conditions, to provide assistance in determining acoustic resonance. To predict the flow-induced noise of tube bundles, this study employs a hybrid URANS-FWH method. The transition SST model of URANS is used to accurately simulate the turbulent flow field and obtain precise statistical data on turbulence. The FWH equation is utilized to predict and evaluate the intensity and spectral characteristics of the tube bundle noise. The research findings indicate that the noise generated by the heat exchanger tube bundle is affected by pressure pulsations resulting from vortex motion in the deeper regions of the tube bundles. Notably, within specific frequency ranges, the noise intensity experiences a significant enhancement, potentially triggering complex modes of acoustic resonance. This resonance phenomenon poses safety concerns for equipment and threatens the wellbeing of personnel. Consequently, this study provides a solid theoretical foundation for predicting and controlling noise in heat exchanger tube bundles, offering valuable guidance for practical applications.
