CFD turbulent modelling of jet impingement and its validation by particle image velocimetry and mass transfer measurements

Finally, the subject configuration has been modelled by a commercial CFD code, allowing to assess its validity. Three turbulence models have been enforced in the present paper, and complete velocity maps and local Nu distributions are presented and compared to the averaged or instantaneous experimental flow field and heat transfer data, helping ascertain on the relative merits of the adopted models.
