Influence of synthetic jet in crossflow configuration on heat transfer enhancement

A two-dimensional computational model was developed to investigate the effect of synthetic jet interaction with crossflow in channel on the cooling of heat wall. A range of parametric studies by varying membrane oscillating amplitudes and inlet velocities of channel was conducted. The resulting complex, conjugate heat dissipation was analysed. The synthetic jet interacts with the channel flow and gives rise to heat dissipation enhancement at the heated wall. The upstream heat transfer deteriorates in the jet hole, and the heat transfer in the downstream region has improved.
