Numerical simulation of three-dimensional turbulent flow and heat transfer was performed in a multipass rectangular (AR = 2:1) rotating cooling channel with and without turning vane in the hub region under various flow conditions, with two different Reynolds numbers of 10,000 and 25,000, two different channel orientations of 45-deg and 90-deg, and the rotation number varies from 0 to 0.2. This study shows that the addition of the turning vane in the hub turn region does not cause much impact to the flow before the hub. However, it significantly alters the flow reattachment and vortex distribution in the hub turn region and after the hub turn portion. The local heat transfer is deeply influenced by this complex flow field and this turning vane effect lasts from the hub turn region to the portion after it.
