In this paper, flow induced vibration of the tube bundle in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with a new type of baffle, namely large-and-small-hole or LASH baffle, is studied numerically and compared with that in a segmental baffle shell-and-tube heat exchanger. It is found that as a parallel flow with jet characteristics between the large holes and tubes conducted by the LASH baffles, the fluid-induced vibration of tube bundle in the LASH baffle heat exchanger can be prevented and the lateral displacement variation is greatly decreased.
