Abstract Direct Numerical Simulations have been carried out to study the forced convection heat transfer of flow through
fixed prolate particles for a variety of aspect ratios ar = {5/4, 5/3, 5/1} with Reynolds number (Re) up to 100. Three
variations of the solid volume fraction c = {0.1, 0.2, 0.3} with four Hermans orientation factors S = {−0.5, 0, 0.5,
1} are studied. It has been found that changes in S cause prominent variations in the Nusselt number. In general,
Nusselt number increases with the decrease of S. For all three aspect ratios, the Nusselt number remains a linear
function… More >
