Abstract

From the solution of full Navier-Stokes and energy equations, the development of the flow field and heat transfer characteristics in a radial jet reattachment flow have been analysed. The influence of Reynolds number of re-attachment length for the case of steady laminar flows has been determined. However, beyond a Reynolds number of 250, the flow field becomes unsteady and has been found to have a periodic nature. This periodic flow has been found to persist up to a Reynolds number of 750. The periodicity has been characterized by the Strouhal number which shows a slight but continuous variation with Reynolds number around a value of 0.12. The point of maximum heat transfer is within the re-attachment zone in the range of Reynolds numbers studied.
