Abstract EN

This article provided a research for the trend of heat transfer and flow field through a 2-dimensional wavy duct.

To construct a grid mesh, the physical domain was transferred to the computational domain and finite volume scheme was used for discretizing the governing equations.

Through the simulation, the flow regime stayed in laminar mode.

Constant temperature boundary condition has been used for solid walls.

Air was used as a working fluid.

Existence of waves makes some phenomenon like flow separation.

Effect of Reynolds number, wave width, and wave number has been analyzed and velocity distribution, heat transfer coefficient, and tangential stress were computed for different cases.

The final results were compared with the same straight duct.

The entropy generation minimization method has been used for better comparison between final results.
