Turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer enhancement using novel Vortex Generator
(Penerbit Akademia Baru, 2022) Shlash, Bassam Amer Abdulameer; Koç, İbrahim
One of several effective methods for improving heat transfer in heat exchangers is the use of vortex generators in channels. The flow of fluid through a channel with a vortex generator is disrupted by the development of recirculation zoneson the step wall, which improves fluid mixing and heat transmission. The current work investigates the flow and heat transfer of turbulent fluid flow through channels with various vortex generator designs mathematically (triangular, half-circle, and quarter circle). The finite volume method (FVM) is used to discretize and solve the continuity, momentum, and energy equations. The SIMPLE algorithm approach is used to connect the pressure and velocity fields within the domain. The effect of geometrical factors such as step height (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm) on the flow and heat fields is demonstrated and analyzed, as is the effect of Reynolds number. As the step height increases, so do the surface Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient, which peak at 4 mm. According to the findings, as Re increases, so does the average Nusselt number. The quarter circle vortex generator has the best thermal-hydraulic performance at a 4 mm amplitude height, followed by the triangle vortex generator. The simulation results are consistent with those found in the literature.
