Macroscale vortex impingement at a porous-fluid interface induces local heat-transfer enhancement

Thibaut K. Kemayo, Vishal Srikanth, Justin Courter +2

Externally generated wakes can impinge on porous layers in several practical heat transfer applications. However, the transport of these macroscale vortices and their resulting inf…

Turbulence Kinetic Energy Distribution and Heat Transfer in a Porous Layer Induced by Bluff Body Vortex Shedding

Thibaut K Kemayo, Justin Courter, Vishal Srikanth +3

When a turbulent vortex impinges on a porous layer, it creates a complex multiscale interaction: the wake structures that form in the free fluid engage with the intricate geometry…
