Flow structure and heat transfer characteristics of a 90°-turned pin-finned wedge duct with dimples at different locations
(2018) In Numerical Heat Transfer; Part A: Applications 73(3). p.143-162- Abstract
In this study, numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effect of dimple location on the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics in a 90°-turned channel with pin fins. Results of the flow structure, heat transfer on the endwall, and friction factor are included in this study. It is found that the dimple location has an impact on the flow structure and heat transfer both for the pin fins arranged with in-line and staggered layout. The horseshoe vortex near the pin fin is influenced by the location of the dimple. The dimple enhances the Nusselt number on the endwall surface significantly. In addition, the dimple location has an effect on the low-speed recirculation, impingement, and vortex which are generated by the... (More)

The horseshoe vortex near the pin fin is influenced by the location of the dimple. The dimple enhances the Nusselt number on the endwall surface significantly. In addition, the dimple location has an effect on the low-speed recirculation, impingement, and vortex which are generated by the dimple. However, the dimple has very limited effects on the friction factor for all cases. It is also found that the area goodness factor and volume goodness factor are improved by the dimple.
