The local heat transfer by forced convection from the base surface of a bluff obstacle in a variety of configurations was measured. The data are satisfactorily represented by an equation of the type hLkf=C·U∞ρfLμf2/3 The coefficient C depends upon the configuration and the location. Its value is uniformly 0.20 on the rear of a flat-plate strip at 90-deg angle of attack. It diminishes wherever any device can close the dead air space, or reduce its size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
