Experimental studies are carried out to investigate the jet impingement heat transfer characteristics in cross-flow with and without the presence of a 45 deg V-shaped rib. The local heat transfer coefficients are obtained by a liquid crystal thermography (LCT) technique. The ratio of nozzle-to-surface spacing to jet diameter is 3.56, the jet Reynolds number is kept at 17,000, the cross-flow Reynolds number spans from 32,700 to 65,000, the velocity ratio of jet to cross-flow ranges from 1.5 to 3.0. The impingement heat transfer characteristics in cross-flow are changed from the results without the cross-flow, and they are strongly affected by the velocity ratio. The presence of a V-shaped rib significantly modifies the heat transfer patterns of the impinging jet in cross-flow. Compared to the results without ribs, the heat transfer over the ribbed surface is enhanced for a low velocity ratio but retarded for a high velocity ratio, depending on the interaction between the rib induced flow and the impinging jet.

As one of next generation nuclear reactors, development of a supercritical pressure water reactor (SCWR) has been performed. In order to design the SCWR, it is necessary to investigate thermal-hydraulic characteristics in the SCWR core precisely. As for those characteristics, many experimental studies have been conducted from the former in each country using circular tubes, annular channels, and the simulated fuel bundles. An objective of this study is to clarify the prediction accuracy of the turbulent heat transfer characteristics in the supercritical pressure fluids for the SCWR design. From the experimental results of the supercritical pressure fluids flowing upward in a vertical circular tube, it was confirmed that the turbulent heat transfer coefficient suddenly decreases under the high heat flux condition. Although many numerical studies have been done in order to confirm the deterioration of turbulent heat transfer in supercritical pressure fluids, it is important to choose a suitable turbulence model to obtain high prediction accuracy. Then, the present study was performed to investigate numerically the effect of turbulent models on the deteriorated turbulent heat transfer.
