NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER AND FLUID FLOW IN A CHANNEL WITH TWO SEMI -CIRCULAR SHAPED OBSTACLES

Abstract

In this study, convective heat transfer and fluid flow in a channel with two semi-circular obstacles has been numerically investigated under uniform wall temperature boundary condition. The Reynolds number, in the turbulent flow regime, is chosen 10,000-40,000. The working fluid is taken air with Pr=0.71. The channel height and length are taken 4 and 32 times of the semicircular body diameter, respectively. The location of the bodies is maintained from inlet at 4D and 8D distance.The bodies are set at 2D distance from the channel walls. The Navier- Stokes and energy equations have been solved using Simple algorithm and Standart kformulation for turbulent flow regime. The governing equations are solved using the commercial code Fluent. Rectangular grid is used over the domain. The distribution of Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient on the channel wall are reported depending on Reynolds number. The average Nusselt numbers and skin friction coefficients with and without obstacles are presented comparatively
