- Abstract
- Large eddy simulations were performed for the conjugate heat transfer in a ribbed channel with a geometry, that mimics the internal cooling passage of a gas turbine, using 566, 100, 10, and 1 as the solid and fluid thermal conductivity ratios (K*) and 30,000, 7000 (turbulent flow), and 1000 (laminar flow) as the Reynolds numbers. A fully coupled simulation was conducted using the immersed boundary method (IBM) and a dynamic sub-grid-scale (SGS) model. In pure convection, a decrease in the Reynolds number from 30,000 to 7000 increased the heat transfer on the channel wall by 5% but decreased that on the rib by 20%. When K* > 10, the Reynolds number effect is stronger in the rib than in the wall. In the laminar flow, the effect of conduction appears at a low K*, and the heat transfer promotion is poor in the typical ribbed channel geometry. In the turbulent flow, if K* >= 100, then a heat transfer promotion is expected in the ribbed channel even at a low Reynolds number. For K* < 10, the thermal performance in the turbulent flow is worse than that in the laminar flow, and thus, no rib effect is expected.
