Description
Summary:This work comprises an experimental study of a turbulent jet impinging on an oscillating target surface. The fluid dynamics and heat transfer characteristics of jet impingement on an oscillating target surface are measured and compared with those of jet impingement on a static target surface. This study shows that target-surface oscillation generates higher turbulence intensities in the impinging-jet flow which give rise to an enhanced heat transfer rate, compared to a static target surface.
