In this study, turbulence models and near-wall modeling approaches were compared in impingement heat transfer. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models were compared using three near-wall modeling approaches. Moreover, the effect of near-wall modeling approaches on heat transfer was investigated and the predictions were compared with experiments. All computations were performed with the FLUENT code by considering two-dimensional, steady, and incompressible flow. Wall functions (WF) should be used carefully in conjunction with turbulence models, and the enhanced wall treatment (WT) is suggested for practical applications. The standard k-e model showed the best agreement with the experimental data among the models used under the considered conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
