Abstract

A numerical study was conducted to simulate the heat transfer from an array of jets onto an impingement surface typical of those found on aircraft wing/slat surfaces. The study used commercially available CFD software, FLUENT, to model the different hot-jet arrangements that included: (a) a single array of jets, (b) two staggered arrays of jets at different stagger angle (10 and 20 deg), and (c) a case with an etched surface. The main findings of the study reveal that the single array and the array with a 20-deg stagger yield better surface heat transfer than the 10-deg stagger. The etched surface or inner liner yields almost 2-3 times better surface heat transfer than the others thus making it a favorable choice for increasing surface heat transfer.
