This study investigates self-excited oscillations of three-dimensional collapsible tubes conveying both laminar and turbulent flows, using an immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method. The effects Reynolds number (Re) on these are explored, revealing that at Re = 200, periodic vortex shedding downstream the tube throat induces small-amplitude, quasi-periodic oscillations. Notably, stress concentrations near end elastic lead to formation two regions wall thickening, which may predispose fatigue failure. At higher flow conditions (Re 1000), bifurcation occurs, resulting in large-amplitude, These similarly driven by shedding, imparts perturbations onto wall. Additionally, analysis monitoring points within rigid reveals small secondary pressure streamwise velocity. attributed merging jets their interactions tube.
