Forming experiment of extruded tube with crossed ellipsoidal dimples and numerical investigation on heat transfer enhancement and flow characteristics

Jiyu Zheng et al.

Summary: An extruded tube with crossed ellipsoidal dimples was proposed to enhance heat transfer. The tube was manufactured through mechanical extrusion, and experiments showed that the geometric models built by mechanical simulation were accurate. Numerical simulations further analyzed the thermo-hydraulic characteristics, indicating that the tube improved performance due to better mixing and boundary layer destruction. Different geometric parameters were considered, and the maximum PEC of 2.4 was observed for specific dimple configuration. Comparisons with other enhanced tubes showed that the extruded tube had superior overall performance. The findings of this paper have important engineering applications in heat transfer enhancement.

Effect of dimple pitch on thermal-hydraulic performance of tubes enhanced with ellipsoidal and teardrop dimples

Rizwan Sabir et al.

Summary: This paper numerically investigates the thermal-hydraulic performance of dimpled tubes with various geometric pitches under a constant external heat flux. The study compares the performance of enhanced tubes with different types of dimples and identifies the optimum pitch and working range of Reynolds numbers for each configuration. The results show that the ellipsoidal 45 degrees and teardrop dimpled tubes have the highest thermal-hydraulic performance improvement, while the ellipsoidal 0 degrees tubes have limited improvement. The paper also analyzes the effects of local drag and heat transfer characteristics on the overall performance of the tubes and proposes new correlations for Nusselt number and friction factor.

Role of transverse dimples in thermal-hydraulic performance of dimpled enhanced tubes

Rizwan Sabir et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the effects of transverse dimples in thermal and hydraulic performance improvement of different tube configurations. It is found that the performance enhancement varies with turbulent Reynolds numbers, with the Ellipsoidal-45o-Star 6 dimpled tube performing better at low Reynolds numbers and the Teardrop-Star 6 and Ellipsoidal-0o-Star tubes performing better at high Reynolds numbers.

Numerical analysis of heat transfer enhancement and flow characteristics inside cross-combined ellipsoidal dimple tubes

Liang Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that the heat transfer performance of the crosscombined dimple tube is significantly enhanced compared to the single ellipsoidal dimple tube, by changing temperature distribution and increasing the gradient in the core region. The concave surface profile can disrupt flow and enhance mixing of hot and cold fluids.

Comparison of hexahedral, tetrahedral and polyhedral cells for reproducing the wind field around an isolated building by LES

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that among hexahedral, tetrahedral, and polyhedral cells, the hexahedral cells had the best agreement with experimental results, while the accuracies of polyhedral cases were close to hexahedral cases and better than tetrahedral cases. Despite being more economical in terms of computational resources, polyhedral meshes did not improve numerical accuracy.
