Three-Dimensional Simulations of Enhanced Heat Transfer in a Flat Passage Downstream From a Grooved Channel Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Spectral element simulations of three-dimensional flow and augmented convection in a flat passage downstream from a fully developed channel with symmetric, transverse grooves on opposite walls were performed for 405⩽Re⩽764. Unsteady flow that develops in the grooved region persists several groove-lengths into the flat passage, increasing both local heat transfer and pressure gradient relative to that in a steady flat passage. Moreover, the heat transfer for a given pumping power in the first three groove-lengths of the flat passage was greater than the levels observed in a fully developed grooved passage.
