The large-scale vortices shed from a cylindrical object as a vortex generator can be used to enhance heat transfer in a heat exchanger [1]. Furthermore, the large-scale vortices induce secondary vortices on the walls of a heat exchanger, which also play a positive role in heat transfer enhancement.
