Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Resonant Impinging Jets - State of the Art Review
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Impinging jets are encountered in many industrial applications.Previous studies have considered different parameters that affect the flow and enhance mass and energy transfer of these flows, such as Reynolds number, nozzle geometry, nozzle-to-plate distance, wall material and angle, and the flow regime at the jet exit.Furthermore, the dynamics of these jets could be a source of a high level of noise when the transfer of energy is optimized between the aerodynamic and acoustic fields.This can lead to a resonant jet producing selfsustained tones.Self-sustained tones are related to aero-acoustic coupling and occur in impinging jets when a feedback loop is present between the jet exit and the impinged plate.Few studies that deal with the heat transfer of an impinging jet in the presence of an acoustic resonance have been conducted.This state of the art review and discussion will focus on the heat transfer and flow dynamics in such noisy and resonant configurations.Such investigation will allow us to understand how a similar regime characterized by acoustic instabilities could be useful in enhancing heat transfer at the wall.
