Three-dimensional simulations of four louver-tube junction geometries are performed to investigate the effect on louver and tube friction and heat transfer characteristics. Three Reynolds numbers, 300, 600 and 1100, based on bulk velocity and louver pitch are calculated. Strong three-dimensionality
The effects of different geometrical parameters, including tube row numbers (14 rows), wavy angles (0 = 8.95", 17.05", 32.21") and wavy heights (S = 0.751, 1.500 and 3.003 mm) are investigated in detail for the Reynolds number ReH (based on the fin spacing and the frontal velocity) ranging from 400
## Abstract Longitudinal vortices disrupt the growth of the thermal boundary layer, thereby the vortex generators producing the longitudinal vortices are well known for the enhancement of heat transfer in compact heat exchangers. The present investigation determines the heat transfer characteristic
