Detailed heat transfer distributions are numerically investigated on a multiple jet impingement target surface with staggered arrays of spherical dimples where coolant can be extracted through film holes for external film cooling. The three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis with SST k-ω turbulence model is conducted at jet Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000. The separation distance between the jet plate and the target surface varies from 3 to 5 jet diameters and two jet-induced crossflow schemes are included to be referred as large and small crossflow at one and two opposite exit openings correspondingly. Flow and heat transfer results for the dimpled target plate with three suction ratios of 2.5%, 5.0% and 12.0% are compared with those on dimpled surfaces without film holes. The results indicate the presence of film holes could alter the local heat transfer distributions, especially near the channel outlets where the crossflow level is the highest. The heat transfer enhancements by applying film holes to the dimpled surfaces is improved to different degrees at various suction ratios, and the enhancements depend on the coupling effect of impingement and channel flow, which is relevant to jet Reynolds number, jet-to-plate spacing and crossflow scheme.

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.

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.

Abstract An unsteady local heat transfer in an air synthetic non-steady-state jet impingement onto a flat plate with a variation of the Reynolds number, nozzle-to-plate distance and pulses frequency is experimentally and numerically studied. Measurements of the averaged and pulsating heat transfer at the stagnation point are conducted using a heat flux sensor. The axisymmetric URANS method and the Reynolds stress model are used for numerical simulations. For local values of heat transfer, zones with the maximum instantaneous value of heat flux and heat transfer coefficient are identified. The heat transfer increases at relatively low nozzle-to-plate distances (H/d ≤ 4). The heat transfer decreases at high distance from the orifice and target surface. An increase in the Reynolds number causes reduction of heat transfer.

Abstract Array jet impingement heat transfer onto thin metal foams of different pore densities has been experimentally investigated in the current study. Aluminum foams with high porosity (93%) and different pore densities of 5, 20 and 40 ppi are subjected to array jet impingement under an intermediate crossflow exit scheme. The jets are arranged such that the streamwise jet-to-jet spacing is x/dj = 8 and spanwise jet-to-jet spacing is y/dj = 4. Jet to target plate spacing was maintained at z/dj = 6 where ‘z’ is the distance between the jet plate and the target surface on which metal foams were installed. A steady state heat transfer technique has been used to obtain local heat transfer coefficients along the streamwise direction. It is observed that heat transfer enhancement levels increase as pore density increases. An enhancement of 50–100% over the baseline case of impingement onto smooth surface is obtained over the flow range tested (3000 < Redj < 12000). At a constant pumping power of 40 W, an enhancement of 26–33% is obtained for the different pore densities tested.

The flow structure and local heat transfer characteristics of two-dimensional slot jets impinging on heated protrusions has been investigated. The spent air was constrained to exit at one end of the channel, forming a crossflow. The effects of three parameters on the heat transfer were examined for an array of five protruding heat sources. They include the jet slot width, distance between the jet exit and the protrusion, and the average jet Reynolds number. Laser-Doppler velocimeter measurements were made to detail the mean and turbulent flow structure in the channel. Experimental results reveal that the flow and heat transfer are dominated by turbulent transport even for Reynolds numbers as low as 300. Two transport mechanisms were identified affecting the heat transfer. The first was jet impingement, the second being crossflow of the spent air. A complex interaction between the two mechanisms was observed. At low nozzle-protrusion spacing with large slot jets the heat transfer was dominated by the crossflow, whereas for high nozzle-protrusion spacing and small jets, transport was dominated by jet impingement. It is postulated that the highest average Nusselt number occurs when the jets and the crossflow influence act with near-equal intensity.

Impingement jet cooling is a promising cooling method in modern dry low emission combustor because of its high local heat transfer coefficient. This paper investigates the recent research progress on impingement jet cooling in combustor liner. Firstly, the different flow characteristics in the different impingement jet flow regions are described. Then, the factors influencing impingement jet cooling are discussed, including flow factor and geometry factor. The researches in a large range of flow parameters, including Reynolds number, Mach number and temperature ratio, are reported. The researches in different geometry parameters, such as nozzle geometry, nozzle-to-nozzle spacing, nozzle-to-target distance and inclined angle, are presented. Next, the crossflow effect in array impingement jet is considered. Due to the crossflow decreases the heat transfer performance, varieties of structures which can restrict the crossflow and improve the channel flow are introduced. Finally, the methods to enhance the impingement jet cooling are presented. These methods focus on retrofitting the nozzle and target surface. The combination of impingement jet cooling with other methods, such as effusion cooling, rib roughened surface, is important development direction in combustor liner in the future.

The heat transfer characteristics of single and dual-exit drainage configurations for arrays of liquid jets impinging normal to a heated isoflux plate has been studied experimentally. The interaction of drainage channel crossflow from upstream jets and the stagnation jets and its impact on heat transfer was the focus of the investigation. Infrared thermography was used to measure the local temperature distribution on the heated plate, from which local heat transfer coefficients were determined. A single jet diameter was used, and jet arrays with jet-to-jet spacings of 4.8, 6, 8, and 12 jet diameters were studied. Average jet Reynolds numbers in the range 400–5000 were investigated for jet nozzle-to-impingement plate spacings of 1, 2, and 4 jet diameters for fully flooded (submerged) drainage flow. A single jet-to-plate spacing large enough to yield free-surface jets was also studied. The data reveal a complex dependence of local and average Nusselt numbers on the geometric parameters which describe the problem configuration.
