Abstract
The present research involves a computational investigation by adopting a conjugate technique in a turbulent wall jet flow on a moving plate heated isothermally at the bottom. The low-Reynolds-number YS model is adopted for the simulation to predict the thermal and fluid behavior in the near wall regime. The wall jet enters a quiescent environment of Prandtl number of at a constant Reynolds number of
at the inlet. The thermal parameters considered for observing the thermal behavior are solid-fluid conduction ratio
plate-jet thickness ratio
and plate to jet velocity ratio
The temperature distributions in the plate domain, temperature at the solid-fluid interface, local Nusselt number, and average Nusselt number provided evidence of the effects of plate movement in the present cases. The plate motion strongly influences the distribution of the local and the averaged Nusselt number along with the temperature at the interface. The average Nusselt number calculated suggests that plate motion is crucial in enhancing heat transfer rate.
