Abstract
- • The paper presents a novel approach for heat transfer enhancement using a cylindrical insert with impinging jet. • Twin jets are formed with velocity twice as high as that of a jet without an insert • The complex flow near the stagnationzone creates a plume like structure with high turbulent kinetic energy Periodic vortex shedding which forms when fluid moves over a circular cylinder creates a wake which causes fluctuating unsteady forces on structures. The oscillating wake may also serve to enhance heat transfer rates from a surface on which it impinges. In this paper we investigate the passive excitation of the impinging jet's velocity field using a cylindrical insert. The insert is placed just before where the jet issues from the circular pipe. The flow is examined using Large Eddy Simulations (LES). The jet's Reynolds number based on bulk inlet velocity is 23,000 and jet's outlet-to-target wall distance is two. It is found that using a cylindrical insert in the impingement pipe results in enhanced heat transfer rates for cooling applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
