Numerical studies of flow and heat transfer in a circular tube under pulsating flow condition were carried out in the laminar regime. The flow at the inlet consists of a fixed part and a pulsating component, which varies sinusoidally in time. The flow was both thermally and hydrodynamically developing while the tube wall was kept at a uniform temperature. The solution of two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equation was performed using the SIMPLE algorithm with the momentum interpolation technique of Rhie and Chow. By analysing the data generated from the simulation, it is observed that in the range of present study (frequency: 0–20 Hz; amplitude: < 1.0), pulsation has no effect on time-averaged heat transfer, although the Nu distribution varies in time in the near-entry region of the pipe.
