Study and Model Formulation for Curved Surface Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Impinging jets on curved surfaces are important in many industrial applications. Experimentation have been carried out for heat transfer evaluation between the impinging air jets and curved surfaces in the prior research. An attempt has been made towards the model development using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to validate the experimental results obtained for curved surface in the present study. This attempt is made because, the physical model experimentation is time consuming and cumbersome as well as costlier affair. Hence, if the CFD model is developed in accordance with the results obtained earlier and if it is in good agreement with the same then using the same procedure, the CFD models for flat and rough surface can also be formulated, thereby, reducing the efforts of actual experimentations in future.
