A Comparative Study of Heat Transfer Characteristics in an Array of Cylinders

摘要
Numerical simulations have been performed to study the flow pattern and vortex generation with an ensuing effect on heat transfer. The current study comprises of − effect of spacing between the cylinders; effect of the introduction of a different geometry into a homogeneous array of cylinders; effect of the pattern in which the geometries alternate, i.e. the effect of the upstream geometry on the flow pattern. A commercial solver (ANSYS FLUENT) has been used for this purpose. The study has been performed at Reynolds number 100.
