Acoustic resonance may occur in heat exchangers such as gas heaters or boilers which contain tube bundles. The purpose of this study is to develop modeling method of vortex shedding synchronization because this is the most essential part of critical flow velocity prediction. Here, acoustic resonance level dependence of spatial correlation of vortex shedding is expressed by coherence function between wake-oscillator behaviors in any two locations in the cavity. The feedback effect in synchronization of vortex shedding is represented by resonant level dependence of the wake-oscillator phase fluctuation range. This method gives the result that when resonance level increases, synchronization level in the tube bundles also increases, which seems to be a reasonable conclusion. Experimental method to identify the undefined parameters in the proposed method is also mentioned.
