Abstract

As an innovative energy storage technology, flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) have garnered substantial research interest in recent years, particularly regarding their thermal performance. Building upon previous studies and considering FESS operational characteristics, this investigation focuses on flow field dynamics induced by rotating jet cooling. Key findings includes: Rotation significantly diminishes the jet impingement effect on flow field patterns, with circumferential uniformity observed in Nusselt number(Nu), turbulent kinetic energy, and wall shear stress distributions, indicating consistent wall-adjacent heat transfer performance. Axial periodic fluctuations in velocity and turbulent kinetic energy emerge under jet impingement. Rotation speed exerts greater influence than coolant inlet velocity on near-wall flow field behavior. A persistent high-disturbance convolution layer near the rotating wall maintains constant thickness (4.55 mm), independent of rotation speed and coolant velocity parameters.
