Numerical study of circular vortex generator in wavy microchannel

Heat transfer is always an important topic in a world that can be used to improve its performance. For this purpose, the effect of circular vortex generator in microchannel has been investigated in this study. To do this, at the beginning of the microchannel, a vortex generator is created to create a vortex in the fluid flow to increase heat transfer.In this 2-dimensional and steady state, three different Reynolds numbers simulations were performed and the effects of vortex generation were studied. The speeding up of the Reynolds numbers in this article is 0.3, 0.7 and 1, respectively. In all three Reynolds numbers, the temperature and streamline contours are compared and compared.
