【 摘 要 】

In the present study, heat transfer and flow characteristics simulations over the surface of conical dimple were investigated. Single dimple row with inline arrangement was formed on the internal surface of the 3-D rectangular wind tunnel model. The air flow was perpendicular to the centre line of every dimple and the printed diameter of dimples on the surface was D=26.4mm. The depth of dimple on the surface of wind tunnel was H/D=2. The space between dimple-to-dimple was varied for S/D=1.125, 1.25,1.5, and 2. The Reynold number based on the hydraulic diameter of internal air flow was 20,000 depending on the wind tunnel hydraulic diameter. The numerical computation was applied with a Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω turbulence model. The average Nusselt number for the S/D=1.125 case is the highest. When the spacing becomes increase, the value of average Nusselt number tends to decrease.
