Abstract

Periodic fully developed heat transfer characteristics are computed for turbulent flow through an array of heated square blocks deployed along one wall of a parallel-plate duct using the high Reynolds number form of the K-ε turbulence model. This configuration simulates the forced-convection cooling of electronic equipment. The calculations are performed for a range of Reynolds numbers and for a Prandtl number of 0.7. The results are compared with available experimental results.
