Simultaneous investigation of flow and thermal fields during vortex-induced heat transfer enhancement from a thermally active bottom wall of a square duct
摘要
Optimizing convective heat transfer in compact thermal management systems require improved understanding of how vortex dynamics, confinement, and near-wall transport interact in air-based internal forced convection. This study develops a non-intrusive experimental framework that combines two-color laser-induced phosphorescence (2cLIP) with particle image velocimetry (PIV) to obtain simultaneous, high-resolution velocity and temperature fields in a confined square-duct flow with a thermally active bottom wall. Experiments were performed with and without cylindrical and square vortex generators to investigate vortex-induced mixing and heat transfer mechanisms. The coupled diagnostics enable direct evaluation of correlations between velocity and temperature fluctuations through second-order statistics. For the cylindrical vortex generator, the average heat transfer enhancement over the flat plate was approximately 25% and 13% at a Reynolds number of
