Flow-induced　noise　and　vibration　problems　of　tube　bundles　in　heat-exchangers　exist　for　a　long　time　and　often　cause　severe　destruction,　performance　reduction　and　large　maintenance　charge.　It　is　essential　to　study　the　flow-induced　noise　in　tube　bundles　and　develop　high-efficiency　noise　elimination　measures.　The　theoretical　analysis　and　numerical　simulation　method　are　coupled　to　compare　the　aerodynamic　noise　and　heat　transfer　in　shell-and-tube　heat　exchangers　with　continuous　helical　and　segmental　baffles.　The　novelty　of　this　paper　is　to　compare　the　flow-induced　noise　of　tube　bundles　in　shell-and-tube　heat-exchangers　with　continuous　helical　and　segmental　baffles.　And　as　an　initial　trial,　this　study　intends　to　investigate　the　aerodynamic　noise　based　on　the　flow　field　and　acoustic　field　matching　perspective.　The　results　show　that　the　sound　pressure,　the　pressure　drop　per　unit　tube　length　and　the　Nusselt　number　all　increase　with　the　increase　of　Reynolds　number.　And　the　average　synergy　angle　of　continuous　helical　baffles　is　11　lower　than　that　of　segmental　baffles,　which　corresponds　with　23-37　lower　sound　pressure.　©　2020　Elsevier　Ltd
