Experimental Flow Structure Analysis in Plates With 90° Chevron Geometry by a Particle Visualization Technique
Keyword(s):
The flow structures in the cavities of parallel cross-corrugated surfaces, also called chevron geometry, are investigated in this work using an experimental visualization method. An angle of 45° between the corrugations and the main flow direction has been considered. Reviews show that a considerable amount of investigations, mainly experimental, of heat transfer and pressure drop for cross-corrugated plates has been performed, whereas for the flow field in the cavities has only been investigated numerically. The flow visualization experiments are performed inside a water tunnel using a wide range of the hydraulic diameter-based Reynolds number.
