In this paper, heat transfer and effectiveness of a turbulent slot jet impinging over a heated circular cylinder have been investigated numerically by varying the ratio of jet temperature to the ambient temperature, Θj = Tj/Tamp, from 0.7 to 1.2. In all cases, the ambient temperature (Tamb) is assumed to be constant (300 K). The Reynolds number defined based on the average nozzle exit velocity, the diameter of the cylindrical target (D), and properties at the nozzle exit temperature, ReD=ρVD/μ is varied from 6000 to 20,000. The ratio of cylinder diameter to the slot width, D/S = 5.5, 8.5, and 17 are considered and the nondimensional distance from the nozzle exit to the cylinder, H/S is varied in the range of 2 ≤ H/S ≤ 12. The v′2¯−f turbulence model was used for numerical simulations. Numerical results reveal that the local Nusselt number is found to be higher at the stagnation point in the case of cold jet impingement at Θj = 0.7. The local heat transfer at the rear side of the cylinder is 8–18% less as compared to that of Θj = 1.0 for ReD = 6000. The local effectiveness calculated over a circular cylinder strongly depends on H/S and D/S. Based on the parametric study, a correlation has been provided for the local effectiveness at the stagnation point.

An experimental study was done to determine the effect of entrainment temperature on the local heat transfer rates to single and multiple, plane, turbulent impinging air jets. To determine the effect of entrainment of the surrounding fluid, the single jet issued into an environment at a temperature which was varied between the initial temperature of the jet and the temperature of the heated impingement plate. An analytical model was used to correlate the measured heat transfer rate to a single jet. The effect of the entrainment temperature in a single jet was then used to analyze the effect of entrainment from the recirculation region between the jets of a jet array. Using the measured temperature in the recirculation region to include the effect of entrainment, the single jet correlations were successfully applied to multiple jets.

The effects of uniform suction and nozzle exit velocity profile on the flow and heat-transfer characteristics of a semiconfined laminar impinging slot jet were investigated numerically. The full Navier-Stokes and energy equations were solved using a hybrid or upwind finite-difference representation of the equations cast into their vorticity-stream-function form. The importance of the nozzle exit profile is shown by comparison of the computed heat-transfer distribution with the available experimental data in the laminar range. Application of suction at the impingement surface is shown to enhance the local heat-transfer rates by a constant amount. The nondimensional heat-transfer coefficient and skin friction at the plate are computed as functions of the nozzle Reynolds number, the suction rate, and the nozzle velocity profile. The effect of temperature-dependent physical properties is included in the analysis.

This paper presents local heat transfer data for a planar, free-surface jet of water impinging normal on a uniformly heated surface. The hydrodynamic conditions of the jet were altered through the use of different nozzle types (parallel-plate and converging) and flow manipulators (wire grid and screens) to investigate the relationship between jet turbulence and local impingement heat transfer. The flow structures for each of the various nozzle conditions are reported in a companion paper (Wolf et al., 1995), and results are used in this paper to interpret their effect on local heat transfer. In addition to qualitative interpretations, correlations are developed for both the onset of transition to turbulence and the dimensionless convection coefficient at the stagnation point. Higher levels of jet turbulence are shown to induce transition to a turbulent boundary layer at smaller streamwise distances from the stagnation point. The effect of stream-wise turbulence intensity on the convection coefficient is shown to scale approximately as the one-quarter power.

Amid all convective heat transfer augmentation methods employing single phase, jet impingement heat transfer delivers significantly higher coefficient of local heat transfer. The arrangement leading to nine jets in square array has been used to cool a plate maintained at constant heat flux. Numerical study has been carried out using RANS-based turbulence modeling in commercial CFD Fluent software. The turbulent models used for the study are three different “k-ε” models (STD, RNG, and realizable) and SST “k-ω” model. The numerical simulation output is equated with the experimental results to find out the most accurate turbulence model. The impact of variation of Reynolds number, inter-jet spacing, and separation distance has been considered for the geometry considered. These parameters affect the coefficient of heat transfer, temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy related to flow. The local “h” values have been noticed to decline with the rise in separation distance “H/D.” The SST “k-ω” model has been noticed to be in maximum agreement with the experimental results. The average value of heat transfer coefficient “h” reduces from 210 to 193 W/m2K with increase in “H/D” from 6 to 10 at “Re” = 9000 and S/D of 3. As per numerical results, inter-jet spacing “S/D” of 3 has been determined to be the most optimum value.

The purpose of this numerical investigation is to study the micro-jet impingement heat transfer characteristics and hydromechanics in a 3-D, actual-shaped turbine vane geometry. No concession is made on either the skewness or curvature profile of the airfoil in the streamwise direction, nor to the lean, airfoil twist or tapering of the vane in the spanwise direction. The problem on hand consists of a constant property flow of air via an array of 42 round micro jets impinging onto the inner surface of the airfoil. For simplicity, validation and better understanding of the nature of impingement heat transfer, the airfoil surfaces are provided with a constant temperature boundary condition. Validation is performed against existing numerical results on a simplified model with no spanwise tapering or twisting. The modeled volume spans a total of 12D and consists of three rows of jets; each row contains 14 inline jets. Governing equations are solved using a finite volume method in FLUENT. Effects of jet inclination (+45° and −45° inclinations) and decrease in nozzle diameter (0.51, 0.25 and 0.125 mm) are studied. Inclination of −45° produced enhanced mixing and secondary peaks with marginal decrease in stagnation values. The effect of reducing the diameter of the jets yielded positive results; the tapering effect too enhanced the local heat transfer values, which is attributed to the increase in local velocities at jet exit.

A numerical study is presented for an axisymmetric laminar jet impingement on a confined disk, with the spent fluid being collected through an annual channel that is concentric with the nozzle. In this study, parametric variations were made of the dimensionless separation distance between the nozzle exit and the impingement surface, of the ratio of the diameter of the impingement surface to the nozzle diameter, and of the Reynolds number. The flow field is characterized by two recirculation zones, one adjacent to the nozzle exit and the other near the confining wall. The local heat transfer distribution on the impingement surface exhibits an off-axis maximum and a local minimum near the confining wall. The nozzle separation distance has an effect on surface heat transfer only for configurations with closet confinement. The thermal boundary condition on the impingement surface is found to have little effect on the total heat transfer.

Wind tunnel experiments were performed to determine both the average heat transfer coefficient and the radial distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient for a circular disk facing a uniform oncoming flow. The experiments covered the range of Reynolds numbers Re from 5000 to 50,000 and were performed using the naphthalene sublimation technique. To complement the experiments, an analysis incorporating both potential flow theory and boundary layer theory was used to predict the stagnation point heat transfer. The measured average Nusselt numbers definitively resolved a deep disparity between information from the literature and yielded the correlation Nu = 1.05 Pr0.36 Re1/2. The radial distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were found to be congruent when they were normalized by Re1/2. Furthermore, the radial profiles showed that the local coefficient takes on its minimum value at the stagnation point and increases with increasing radial distance from the center of the disk. At the outer edge of the disk, the coefficient is more than twice as large as that at the stagnation point. The theoretical predictions of the stagnation point heat transfer exceeded the experimental values by about 6 percent. This overprediction is similar to that which occurs for cylinders and spheres in crossflow.

This research provides a computational analysis of heat transfer due to micro jet-impingement inside a gas turbine vane. A preliminary-parametric analysis of axisymmetric single jet was reported to better understand micro jet-impingement. In general, it was seen that as the Reynolds number increased the Nusselt number values increased. The jet to target spacing had a considerably lower impact on the heat transfer rates. Around 30% improvement was seen by reducing the diameter to half while changing the shape to an ellipse saw 20.8% improvement in Nusselt value. The numerical investigation was then followed by studying the heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional, actual-shaped turbine vane. Effects of jet inclination showed enhanced mixing and secondary heat transfer peaks. The effect of reducing the diameter of the jets to 0.125 mm yielded 55% heat transfer improvements compared to 0.51 mm; the tapering effect also enhanced the local heat transfer values as local velocities at jet exit increased.
