Experimental study of rectangular channel with modified rectangular longitudinal vortex generators

A modified rectangular longitudinal vortex generator (LVG) obtained by cutting off the four corners of a rectangular wing is presented. Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of this LVG mounted in rectangular channel are experimentally investigated and compared with those of original rectangular LVG. Results show that the modified rectangular wing pairs (MRWPs) have better flow and heat transfer characteristics than those of rectangular wing pair (RWP). Near the positions of z = ±40 mm from the centerline of the heater plate, the local heat transfer is enhanced due to the strong longitudinal vortices generated by the presence of the LVGs. The down-sweep of the longitudinal vortices is beneficial to the heat transfer enhancement. The distance from the core of the main vortices of MRWP1 to the heater wall is slightly lower than those of RWP, and hence MRWP1 has a comparably better heat transfer characteristic.     

Heat transfer enhancement by using a rectangular wing vortex generator on the triangular shaped fins of a plate‐fin heat exchanger

The present numerical analysis pertains to the heat transfer enhancement in a plate‐fin heat exchanger employing triangular shaped fins with a rectangular wing vortex generator on its slant surfaces. The study has been carried out for three different angles of attack of the wing, i.e., 15°, 20° and 26°. The aspect ratio of the wing is not varied with its angle of attack. The flow considered herein is laminar, incompressible, and viscous with the Reynolds number not exceeding 200. The pressure and the velocity components are obtained by solving the continuity and the Navier– Stokes equations by the Marker and Cell method. The present analysis reveals that the use of a rectangular wing vortex generator at an attack angle of 26° results in about a 35% increase in the combined spanwise average Nusselt number as compared to the plate‐triangular fin heat exchanger without any vortex generator. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Numerical investigation of turbulent flow and heat transfer in a channel with novel longitudinal vortex generators

A novel combined longitudinal vortex generator (LVG), comprising a rectangular wing mounted with an accessory rectangular wing, is developed and the turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics are numerically analyzed. The influences of six main parameters of the combined rectangular winglet pair (CRWP) on heat transfer enhancement and fluid flow resistance characteristics in a rectangular channel are examined. The parameters include the location of accessory wing on the main wing and geometric sizes of the accessory wing. The Reynolds number range is from 2000 to 16,000. The numerical results show that in the range of the present study, the increase of the six parameters can result in the increase of heat transfer and pressure drop. Specially, the pressure drop decreases at large value of the distance of accessory wing from the channel bottom. In comparison with RWP, the CRWP generates vortices with larger area and lower core. Furthermore, the accessory wings generate vortices that swirl downward the channel bottom and disturb the boundary layer growth more effectively. Hence the heat transfer is enhanced. The numerical result for the Nusselt number of the channel agrees well with the experimental result, indicating the reliability of the present numerical predictions.

Numerical study on laminar convection heat transfer in a rectangular channel with longitudinal vortex generator. Part A: Verification of field synergy principle

This study presents numerical computation results on laminar convection heat transfer in a rectangular channel with a pair of rectangular winglets longitudinal vortex generator punched out from the lower wall of the channel. The effect of the punched holes and the thickness of the rectangular winglet pair to the fluid flow and heat transfer are numerically studied. It is found that the case with punched holes has more heat transfer enhancement in the region near to the vortex generator and lower average flow frictional coefficient compared with the case without punched holes. The thickness of rectangular winglet can cause less heat transfer enhancement in the region near to the vortex generator and almost has no significant effect on the total pressure drop of the channel. The effects of Reynolds number (from 800 to 3000), the attack angle of vortex generator (15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°) were examined. The numerical results were analyzed from the viewpoint of field synergy principle. It was found that the essence of heat transfer enhancement by longitudinal vortex can be explained very well by the field synergy principle, i.e., when the second flow generated by vortex generators results in the reduction of the intersection angle between the velocity and fluid temperature gradient, the heat transfer in the present channels will be enhanced. Longitudinal vortices (LVs) improve the synergy between velocity and temperature field not only in the region near LVG but also in the large downstream region of longitudinal vortex generator. So LVs enable to enhance the global heat transfer of channel. Transverse vortices (TVs) only improve the synergy in the region near VG. So TVs can only enhance the local heat transfer of channel.     

Numerical investigation and analysis of heat transfer enhancement in channel by longitudinal vortex based on field synergy principle

3-D numerical simulations were presented for laminar flow and heat transfer characteristics in a rectangular channel with vortex generators. The effects of Reynolds number (from 800 to 3 000), the attack angle of vortex generator (from 15° to 90°) and the shape of vortex generator were examined. The numerical results were analyzed based on the field synergy principle. It is found that the inherent mechanism of the heat transfer enhancement by longitudinal vortex can be explained by the field synergy principle, that is, the second flow generated by vortex generators results in the reduction of the intersection angle between the velocity and fluid temperature gradient. The longitudinal vortex improves the field synergy of the large downstream region of longitudinal vortex generator (LVG) and the region near (LVG); however, transverse vortex only improves the synergy of the region near vortex generator. Thus, longitudinal vortex can enhance the integral heat transfer of the flow field, while transverse vortex can only enhance the local heat transfer. The synergy angle decreases with the increase of Reynolds number for the channel with LVG to differ from the result obtained from the plain channel, and the triangle winglet performs better than the rectanglar one under the same surface area condition.     

Heat transfer augmentation in a plate‐fin heat exchanger using a rectangular winglet

This study presents numerical computation results on laminar convection heat transfer in a plate‐fin heat exchanger, with triangular fins between the plates of a plate‐fin heat exchanger. The rectangular winglet type vortex generator is mounted on these triangular fins. The performance of the vortex generator is evaluated for varying angles of attack of the winglet i.e., 20, 26, and 37° and Reynolds number 100, 150, and 200. The computations are also performed by varying the geometrical size and location of the winglet. The complete Navier–Stokes equation and the energy equation are solved by the (Marker and Cell) MAC algorithm using the staggered grid arrangement. The constant wall temperature thermal boundary conditions are considered. Air is taken as the working fluid. The heat transfer enhancement is seen by introducing the vortex generator. Numerical results show that the average Nusselt number increases with an increase in the angle of attack and Reynolds number. For the same area of the LVG, the increase in length of the LVG brings more heat transfer enhancement than increasing the height. The increase in heat transfer comes with a moderate pressure drop penalty. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Heat Trans Asian Res; Published online in Wiley Online Library ( wileyonlinelibrary.com ).
