Abstract

This study aimed to determine the flow structures and heat transfer for flow past a tandem cylinder array and the effect of a slit on the enhancement of heat transfer. Different distances between cylinders and inclination angles of the slit were simulated to determine the effects on the flow pattern and heat transfer. Overall, the Nusselt number of the array is increased by 6–15% with applying a slit on a cylinder. However, in some special conditions, the slit induces two kinds of flow pattern transforms which are Suppression and Revival. The suppression mode inhibits the vortex shedding and reduces the heat transfer. In contrast, the revival mode triggers the vortex shedding and increases heat transfer.
