Numerical study of fluid flow and heat transfer in a flat-plate channel with longitudinal vortex generators by applying field synergy principle analysis

Numerical simulation on performances of plane and curved winglet – Pair vortex generators in a rectangular channel and field synergy analysis

“…Wu et al [22,23] verified that the theory could be applied to explain the mechanism of heat transfer for a channel flow with LVGs. Tian et al [24] and Saha et al [25] numerically analyzed the thermal e hydraulic performance with FSP of rectangular winglet pair and delta winglet pair, respectively. Both of them concluded that better heat transfer enhancement was achieved with smaller synergy angle.…”

Thermal performance of plate-fin heat exchanger using passive techniques: vortex-generator and nanofluid

“…These appropriate thermal-hydraulic specifications of the VGs as a passive heat transfer enhancement technique have motivated many investigators to study and optimize the performance of these geometries in different heat exchange systems, such as circular and noncircular ducts [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], flat PFHE [13][14][15][16][17][18], tube-fin heat exchanger [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], heat sink [28,29], electronic chip [30,31], and micro-and-mini channels [32]. However, in most studies gases were often used as the heat transfer medium, and studies of liquids are very low.…”

Enhancing heat transfer in a plate-fin heat sink using delta winglet vortex generators

“…Tian et al [10] simulated the effects of vortex generators with a rectangular winglet pair and a delta winglet pair on laminar heat transfer and fluid flow in a flat-plate channel. They found that the common-flow-down configuration provided a better overall performance than the common-flow-up configuration of the rectangular winglet pair.…”
