【摘要】 In this paper,the flow and heat transfer characteristics in U-shaped channel with three different turn shapes are studied.The rotation number ranges from 0～0.251,Reynolds number are 11500,23000,34500,respectively.The results show that the flow separation and reattachment in the turning section are the key factors affecting the local heat transfer and pressure loss of U-shaped channel.The square turn will generate corner vortices at the outside of the turning section,and the size of the inner separation vortex and reattachment vortex is larger than that of the other two turn shapes.The existence of vortex system will increase the mixing and enhance heat transfer,but increase the pressure loss,so its relative Nusselt number and pressure loss are the largest.There are corner vortices on the outside of the turning section of the channel with a inner circle turn and outer square turn,but the arc-shaped inner edge makes its separation delay and the separation vortex decrease,and the size of the reattachment vortex also decreases.The arcshaped outer edge of the channel with circle turn in both inner and outer further inhibits the generation of corner vortices,so its relative Nusselt number and pressure loss are the lowest.Rotation will cause the fluid to deflect under the influence of Coriolis force,strengthen the heat transfer on the trailing surface of radial outflow and the leading surface of radial internal flow,and generate secondary flow and separation vortex in the turning section,resulting in the change of vortex structure in the turning section.With the increase of rotation number,the Nusselt number of the three types of turning section structures increases.The thermal performance factor of the three channels increases with the increase of rotating speed,and the channel with a inner circle turn and outer square turn is the highest,which is 9.6% higher than the channel with circle turn in both inner and outer on average,and 17.8% higher than the channel with square turn in both inner and outer.更多还原
