Analysis of convective heat transfer over a square cylinder with rounded corners under steady flow regime at low Reynolds number

Abstract

This work deals with the numerical simulation of square cylinder with different rounded corners and numerical analysis of convective heat transfer is studied, here emphasis is being laid on both type of flow regime i.e. unsteady flow regime and steady flow regime i.e. between 40 ⩽ Re.⩽ 160 and Pr is kept as 0.7 and thus the finding suggests that the heat transfer increases significantly with rounded corners in square cylinder.
