Heat Transfer in Subsonic Separated Flows

This book presents the results of scientific research performed over the  past two decades by the authors. The book discusses some issues of  separated laminar flows that are of great practical interest for the  development of new technologies using microchannel flows, where  separation zones can form. Of particular interest is the complex  mechanism of flow separation with superimposed high external turbulence.  The challenges of finding the optimal location for the cavities and  fins on heat exchange surfaces are also considered. This is an important  fundamental and practical problem when creating new schemes of  efficient heat exchangers in various power plants. A wide class of  problems of turbulent flow in tubes with flow separation is considered.  These data will be useful in engineering estimates of the  thermal–hydraulic efficiency of various heat transfer intensifiers. This  book focuses on the analysis of thermal characteristics of separated  flows, as well as the possibility of controlling the intensity of heat  exchange processes, from the point of view of both their intensification  and their suppression.
