Heat Transfer Enhancement of Regenerative Cooling Channel with Pyramid Lattice Sandwich Structures
(2023) In Heat Transfer Engineering 44(14). p.1271-1285- Abstract
To meet the requirements of high heat transfer efficiency and light weight, the pyramid lattice structures are applied to the regenerative cooling design of scramjets. This study numerically investigates heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of kerosene in a regenerative channel with pyramid lattice sandwich structures. At the same porosity, the maximum wall temperature of the pyramid lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel decreases by 30%. With increased porosity, the cooling capacity of the pyramid regenerative cooling channel decreases gradually. The numerical results show that a complex secondary flow appears in the flow field in the pyramid lattice structures. In the downstream region of each strut, a spiral vortex is... (More)
To meet the requirements of high heat transfer efficiency and light weight, the pyramid lattice structures are applied to the regenerative cooling design of scramjets. This study numerically investigates heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of kerosene in a regenerative channel with pyramid lattice sandwich structures. At the same porosity, the maximum wall temperature of the pyramid lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel decreases by 30%. With increased porosity, the cooling capacity of the pyramid regenerative cooling channel decreases gradually. The numerical results show that a complex secondary flow appears in the flow field in the pyramid lattice structures. In the downstream region of each strut, a spiral vortex is formed which accelerates the flow velocity approaching the wall with heat transfer enhancement. Because of the disturbing effect of the strut, a high turbulent kinetic energy region is formed in the upstream region of each strut and the heat transfer is enhanced. In general, the local heat transfer in the upstream region of the pyramid strut is better than that in the downstream region. For pyramid lattice structures, the cooling structures with high convective heat transfer and relatively low pressure drop can be obtained by optimization of the design parameters.
