Abstract

In the finite volume approach for incompressible flow and heat transfer, the discretization of the convection term and the treatment of the coupling between velocity and pressure are the two major issues affecting solution stability, accuracy and convergence rate. In this review paper, some recent advances made in the CFD/NHT & Enhanced Heat Transfer Center of Xi'an Jiaotong University, China, are presented and their applications in the study of heat transfer enhancement are also briefly summarized.
