The simulation of plane impinging jets using the Lagrangian technique of smooth particle hydrodynamics is presented. In Section 1 the impingement of a plane jet onto a stationary surface is considered for Reynolds numbers 800, 4000, 8000 and Froude number 4. For each case, the height of the associated streams is measured and compared with both experimental and theoretical results. The agreement...

Rarefication effects on jet impingement loads are studied by comparing recent new formulas at the collisionless flow limit and numerical simulations. The jet exit size is finite, and can be either planar or round. In the simulations, the jets have different degrees of rarefication, with a Knudsen (Kn) number ranging from 0 to infinity; i.e., the jet flows can be continuum, collisional, or colli...

The use of impinging liquid jets in electronics thermal management is attracting some consideration due to their very high heat transfer coefficients, hot spot targeting capabilities and moderate hydraulic power requirements. In this investigation an experimental study of the cooling capabilities of impinging water jet arrays is presented. Of particular interest here is the influence that the i...

This paper presents recent advances in a number of novel, high-performance cooling techniques for emerging electronics applications. Critical enabling thermal management technologies covered include microchannel transport and micropumps, jet impingement, miniature flat heat pipes, transient phase change energy storage systems, piezoelectric fans, and prediction of interface contact conductance....

The research studies the interaction between subcooled small diameter water jet and thick steel heater at different surface temperatures, liquid velocities angles. Although temperature exceeded Leidenfrost reached 340 o C, liquid, according to visual observations, wetted surface. Geometrical characteristics of area deflection angles were measured. It was hypothesised that from surface, accompan...

In this work\ a comparative investigation of jet impingement and microchannel cooling is presented[ The thermal performance of each technology evaluated at the respective optimal condition is compared to each other with the target dimension as a main parameter[ It is revealed that the microchannel cooling is preferable for a target dimension smaller than 9[96 by 9[96 m\ while the jet impingemen...

The aim of this work is to show how adaptive mesh refinement and Lagrangian tracking can be integrated to enable high-fidelity computations of jet atomization and dispersion for industrially relevant configurations. In its present form, the Coupled Level Set and Volume of Fluid (CLSVOF) method for multiphase flow calculations is embedded in a dynamic, block-structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (...

The current work experimentally investigates the flow characteristics of an air jet impinging on an open rotor-stator system with a low non-dimensional spacing, G = 0.02, and with a very low aspect ratio, e/D = 0.25. The rotational Reynolds numbers varied from 0.33 × 10 to 5.32 × 10, while the jet Reynolds numbers ranged from 17.2×10 to 43×10. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were ...

Experiments were performed to investigate single-phase heat transfer from a smooth 12.1'x 12.7 mm simulated chip to a two-dimensional jet of dielectric Fluorinert FC-72 liquid issuing from a thin rectangular slot into a channel confined between the chip surface and nozzle plate. The effects of jet width, confinement channel height, and impingement velocity have been examined. Channel height had...

The effectiveness of a three-dimensional mixed-flow turbulence model describing airspeed and temperature distribution in a laboratory scale slot-ventilated chamber was evaluated. Airspeed and temperature profiles were investigated near the inlet jet region and along an axial line extending from the inlet. The observed jet-floor impingement location was accurately predicted^ with a maximum diffe...
