Abstract
The results of an experimental study of the influence of tabs (teeth) of various shapes on the intensity of turbulent heat transfer in the separation zone in the near wake of a backward-facing step are presented. In this stagnation region, a significant decrease in heat transfer is observed, which negatively affects the thermal-hydraulic efficiency. Five tab shapes were studied in the experiments: square, triangular, cylindrical, semi-cylindrical and semi-conical ones. The tabs were installed at the step edge immediately before flow separation. Measurements were conducted at Reynolds number ReH = 4000 and varying tab pitch. It was found that square tabs with a pitch of 2.5 calibers (step height) have the greatest effect on flow and heat transfer, but at the same time, they cause the greatest hydraulic resistance, therefore, their thermal-hydraulic efficiency is lowest. Semi-conical tabs installed with a pitch of five calibers showed the best results.
期刊介绍：
The journal Thermophysics and Aeromechanics publishes original reports, reviews, and discussions on the following topics: hydrogasdynamics, heat and mass transfer, turbulence, means and methods of aero- and thermophysical experiment, physics of low-temperature plasma, and physical and technical problems of energetics. These topics are the prior fields of investigation at the Institute of Thermophysics and the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS), which are the founders of the journal along with SB RAS. This publication promotes an exchange of information between the researchers of Russia and the international scientific community.
