Improved Heat Transfer by Using a Channel with Wavy Surface
摘要
The work consists of a numerical study of a forced convection of an incompressible, laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid within a channel with symmetrical wavy walls of semi-infinite length. The temperature profile and the distribution of the local Nusselt number are determined numerically using the Alternating Direction Implicit method. We present the effect of certain parameters on the radial and axial temperature profiles and on the Nusselt number.
