Experiments on flow-induced vibrations using a closely-packed triangular rod array with a pitch-todiameter ratio of 1.1 in water cross-flow was carried out at Paul Scherrer Institute. The bundle consists of 21 row of five rods in each one. Single flexibly-mounted test rod (TR) is in the fourth row in an otherwise fixed array. The test rod can freely move in the transverse and in-line direction. Two accelerometer sensors were attached at both ends of the TR to measure the rod response on the fluid flow. The effect of flow rate on the stability of the flexibly-mounted TR has been analysed. During experiments, it reveals a set of conditions and tendencies for the flow-induced vibration in the closely-packed multi-rod system.
