description

Direct and large-eddy numerical simulations are presented for the transitional and turbulent flow with heat transfer in corrugated passages, representative of compact heat exchangers such as rotary air preheaters (regenerators), at Reynolds number ranging from 103 to 104. Pressure drop and heat transfer results are compared with wind-tunnel experimental data; the agreement is quite satisfactory, and superior to that obtained by more traditional methods.
