In this paper, the stability of a thin cylindrical shell subjected to axial leakage flow is discussed. In this paper, the second part of a study of the axial leakage flow-induced vibration of a thin cylindrical shell, we focus on lateral vibration, that is, the beamlike vibration of a shell. The coupled equations between a shell and a fluid are obtained by using the Donnell’s shell theory and the Navier-Stokes equation as same as the former paper. The influence of the axial velocity on the unstable vibration phenomena is clarified concerning the beamlike vibration mode of a shell. The numerical results on shell theory are compared with the ones on beam theory which have been already reported by the authors; and the numerical parameter studies are done for various dimensions of a shell and a fluid.
