- Abstract
A computational study is carried out of the 3-D flow field and heat transfer under a turbulent intermittent circular jet impingement on a concave surface. The control-volume procedure with the SIMPLE algorithm is employed to solve the unsteady RANS (use full form) equations. The RNG k-e model is implemented to simulate turbulence due to its success in predicting similar flows. The numerical results are validated by comparing them with the experimental data. The effects of jet Reynolds number and oscillation frequency on the flow and heat transfer are evaluated. The profiles of instantaneous and time-averaged Nusselt numbers exhibit different trends in axial, x-directions and circumferential, s-directions. It is found that increasing frequency from 50 to 200 Hz results in considerable time-averaged Nusselt number enhancement in both axial and curvature directions. The intermittent jet at a frequency of 200 Hz enhances the total average Nusselt number by 51.4%, 40%, and 33.7% compared to the steady jet values at jet Reynolds numbers of 10000, 23000, and 40000, respectively. In addition, a correlation for the average Nusselt number is proposed depending on the Reynolds number and the Strouhal number.
