Numerical Analysis on the Heat Transfer Enhancement by Modified Lovour Fin

Numerical analysis on the three-dimensional laminar flows (Re=1000) and heat transfer in a rectangular channel with punched longitudinal vortex generator have been conducted to explore the heat transfer enhancement and the combined effect of the angle of attack ${\alpha}$ and the lovour angle ${\beta}$. Rectangular winglets have been used as vortex generators. Velocity and temperature fields and spanwise averaged Nu and friction factor were presented. Enhancement of heat transfer and flow loss penalty are evidenced. The results show performance characteristics allowing a reduction in heat transfer surface area of 62% for fixed heat duty and for fixed pumping power compared with that of channel flow without vortex generator. However, adding lovour angle to the vortex generator shows no positive effect on the heat transfer enhancement.
