Abstract EN
This paper presents the detailed simulation of two-dimensional incompressible laminar wall jet flow over a shallow cavity.
The flow characteristics of wall jet with respect to aspect ratio (AR), step length (Xu), and Reynolds number (Re) of the shallow cavity are expressed.
For higher accuracy, third-order discretization is applied for momentum equation which is solved using QUICK scheme with SIMPLE algorithm for pressure-velocity coupling.
Low Reynolds numbers 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 600 are assigned for simulation.
Results are presented for streamline contour, velocity contour, and vorticity formation at wall and also velocity profiles are reported.
The detailed study of vortex formation on shallow cavity region is presented for various AR, Xu, and Re conditions which led to key findings as Re increases and vortex formation moves from leading edge to trailing edge of the wall.
Distance between vortices increases when the step length (Xu) increases.
When Re increases, the maximum temperature contour distributions take place in shallow cavity region and highest convection heat transfer is obtained in heated walls.
The finite volume code (FLUENT) is used for solving Navier-Stokes equations and GAMBIT for modeling and meshing.
