Double MRT-lattice Boltzmann model for simulating impinging jet flow and heat transfer

In this paper, the MRT (Multiple Relaxation Time)-D2Q9 model and the MRT-D2Q5 are employed to simulate the flow and heat transfer of laminar confined impinging jet flow. For impinging jet flows, the paper considers the effect of Reynolds numbers and jet-impingement surface distance ratio (H/W) on the flow and temperature fields. As for the investigation of heat transfer behaviors on stagnation Nusselt number, it is evident that the effect of H/W is not significant. The Nu number increases dramatically with increasing Reynolds number. And what’s more, this study presents flow and heat transfer predictions of slot jets impinging on cylinder and obtains distribution of Nusselt numbers around the cylinder for different Reynolds number.
