THERMAL-HYDRAULIC FEATURES OF THE TURBULENT FLOW THROUGH RIBBED CHANNELS

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Thermofluid features of the flow through ribbed ducts for various rib arrangements and configurations are investigated numerically. Simulations are performed in a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The impacts of roughness factors (rib width, rib pitch, and rib height), rib arrangements, and rib configurations on the thermal performance of ribbed channels are examined.
