    Large-Eddy Simulation of Flow and Heat Transfer in Compact Heat Exchangers

    LES results are presented for different heat exchanger geometries. Subgrid terms were usually computed by the Smagorinsky model; preliminary comparative results are also given for the ‘dynamic’ subgrid model. ...

    Prediction of Swirling Flow in a Corrugated Channel

    Laminar and turbulent flow in a corrugated channel is simulated using HARWELL-FLOW3D. The channel represents a typical cell within a proposed design for the heat-transfer element of a rotary regenerator. Veloc...
