文摘The windward bend lattice frame structure(WB structure)is characterized by a high heat transfer coefficient and low friction factor.The WB structure can be applied for ther-mal protection system,protecting outer walls of afterburner and nozzles from being damaged by the heating load of hot gas,for air cooling system of the power battery module,dissipating the heat generated during its charging and discharging.In this paper,the heat transfer charac-teristics of the windward bend lattice frame structure have been comprehensively studied.A systematic 3D numerical simulation has been conducted to investigate the effects of the struc-tural parameters of the WB structure,including the pitches in both flow direction and transverse direction,the diameter and the inclination angle of windward bend ligament,on its flow resis-tance and heat transfer enhancement,which has been evaluated by comparing its Nusselt num-ber under an equal pumping power.Furthermore,the contribution of an important parameter,i.e.,the ratio of the interstitial heat transfer rate to the end-wall heat transfer rate(RQ),to the overall heat transfer rate has been fully discussed.As a result,the case of 6 units in the longi-tudinal direction and 2.5 units in the transverse direction,i.e.(nx Z 6,nz Z 2.5)exhibits the best performance in the light of the value of the Nusselt number.
