Control of Laminar Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Planar T-Channel with Rotating Obstacle

Abstract

Palraj Jothiappan*

In the present study, a laminar flow in a planar 2D right angled T-channel in the presence of a rotating heated cylindrical obstacle placed in the junction area is numerically studied to control the heat transfer and fluid flow. The effect of Reynolds number (20 ≤ Re ≤ 300) and cylinder rotation angle (-5 ≤ É· ≤ 5) on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied numerically. It is observed that the flow field and heat transfer rate are influenced by the variation of these parameters.
