Abstract
In this study, heat transfer due to double impinging vertical slot jets onto an isothermal wall was investigated numerically for laminar flow regime. Navier–Stokes and energy equations were discretized with a finite volume procedure on a non-staggered grid arrangement using SIMPLEM (SIMPLE-Modified) algorithm. The effect of the jet Reynolds number, the jet-isothermal bottom wall spacing, and the distance between two jets on heat transfer and flow field was examined. Air was chosen as the working fluid (Pr=0.71). It is found that multi-cellular flow is formed in the impingement region due to interaction between two jets and entrainment effects in the duct. The mean Nusselt number increases almost linearly with increasing of Reynolds number at isothermal surface. When Reynolds number of the first jet is higher than second one the heat transfer is enhanced significantly.
