Log decrement for damping

Specifies the method that Xist uses to calculate the damping log decrement. Xist uses this parameter
to
calculate the critical velocity, above which tube vibration due to fluidelastic instability occurs, and the
crossflow amplitude.
HTRI Method Xist assigns values based on damping contributions from tube supports and fluid
viscosity.
TEMA Method Xist assigns values based on method in TEMA Standards, 8th edition.
User-defined Displays an edit field for specifying value
Required: No
Units: None
Default: Based on TEMA recommendations
Both HTRI and TEMA methods calculate a separate damping factor in each region of the exchanger
