Abstract
In this paper, a dimensionless numerical study of the flow-field and heat transfer characteristics of an incompressible turbulent slot jet impinging obliquely over a moving surface of finite thickness is presented. Simulations were performed using [Formula: see text] eddy viscosity turbulence model. The temperature field was solved simultaneously in the solid and the fluid domain. For a fixed impingement distance and a fixed Reynolds number, the impingement angle ([Formula: see text]) and plate velocity ([Formula: see text]) were varied in the range of 30–75∘ and 0–0.3, respectively. In the results, the length of the potential core depends on the jet inclination, which increases with increase in jet angle. The jet angle and plate velocity have more influence on the uphill side compared to the downhill side. The location of stagnation displaces toward the uphill side as the inclination angle decreases, and the drifting of stagnation point is noted with the variation in plate velocity. The average skin-friction coefficient increases with increase in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and the influence of [Formula: see text] on the skin-friction coefficient is reduced as [Formula: see text] increases. The maximum Nusselt number ([Formula: see text]) increases with increase in [Formula: see text], and the drifting of [Formula: see text] is observed with increase in plate velocity. It is found that the average Nusselt number increases quickly with increase in plate velocity for lower angles of impingement. The distribution of local heat flux follows the same trend as the local Nusselt number.
