Large Eddy Simulation of Two-Dimensional Jet Impingement Heat Transfer Enhanced by Submilli-Scale Ribs

Two-dimensional jet impingement heat transfer enhanced by submilli-scale ribs has been studied by mass transfer experiments and large eddy simulations. Installation of ribs induces flow separation and reattachment, and realize high heat transfer coefficient in the wall jet region. Higher rib-height was found to be effective to make the enhanced heat transfer region larger. Large eddy simulation was found to predict reattachment length correctly, which then resulted in good agreement of local heat transfer coefficients between experiment and simulations except the stagnation and reattachment regions, where over- and under-estimation occurs.
