Abstract

Abstract:

In this paper, heat transfer enhancement in the triangular grooved channel by a laminar pulsating flow is studied. The influence of several main parameters on heat transfer enhancement is analyzed. The parameters are Reynolds number, Strouhal number and pulsation amplitude. The experimental results show that the enhancement of heat transfer rate increases with the Reynolds number and pulsation amplitude, and there exists an optimal Strouhal number for the greatest enhancement of heat transfer in the triangular grooved channel. To analyze the correlation between the pulsating flow behaviors and the heat transfer enhancement characteristics, the PIV investigation is performed. The PIV results show that the heat transfer enhancement results from the strong mixing caused by the repeating sequence of vortex generation, growth, expansion and ejection from the groove to the main stream by the pulsating flow. The repeating sequence of vortex variation changes the flow pattern, which leads to destroy the boundary layer and make the mixing speed faster in the different zones. What's more, the numerical research has been conducted to investigate the synergy of the temperature, velocity and pressure fields on the laminar pulsating flow in a triangular grooved channel. The numerical results indicate that an increase of the intersection angle between velocity and pressure gradient improves the synergy between the velocity and pressure fields with an equal heat transfer enhancement, resulting in a reduction of penalty of pressure drop. Therefore, the improvement of three-field synergy is the basic mechanism for the heat transfer enhancement in the triangular grooved channel by a laminar pulsating flow.

摘要：

以水为工质对三角槽道内单相液体充分发展层流脉动传热特性进行了研究。应用粒子图像测速技术（PIV）测得流场内涡的变化规律，从“涡及涡运动”的角度揭示了“有序”的涡生长及迁移过程对脉动流强化传热的影响。此外，应用“场协同”理论，通过数值模拟深入分析了流场特性与传热之间的关系。研究发现，“有序”的涡生长及迁移过程，破坏了流体边界层，促进了近壁区热流场与速度场的协同，同时，强化了三角槽道内流体与主流区流体的掺混，热量输运能力提升；存在最佳的Strouhal数（St），使得涡旋既能充分发展又能在较短时间脱落进入主流，实现最大效率的壁面换热；有序涡旋对速度场、温度梯度场以及压力梯度场三者协同性的改善是换热性能提升的关键。
