Summary

Tube arrays considered are a staggered tube array and an in-line tube array. The flow is steady at the entrance of the tube banks, but becomes oscillatory downstream of an onset location of vortex shedding. This location moves upstream with increasing Reynolds number. The mass transfer for the staggered array is sensitive to the unsteady wakes of the preceding row tubes, while the surface shear stress is insensitive to such wakes. However, for the in-line array the mass transfer and shear stress are both sensitive to the unsteady wakes.
