Abstract:Numerical simulation coupled with experimental method was carried out to study the flow and heat transfer characteristics in rectangular channel with staggered array-based dimples. The effect of different dimple depths and Reynolds number were investigated using the shear stress transport turbulent model coupled with gamma-theta transition model. The results indicated that heat transfer and flow resistance of the dimpled surface increases with the increase of dimple depth. Moreover, the thermal performance is … Show more
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.
