A Review of Airside Heat Transfer Augmentation with Vortex Generators on Heat Transfer Surface

Heat exchanger performance can be improved via the introduction of vortex generators to the airside surface, based on the mechanism that the generated longitudinal vortices can disrupt the boundary layer growth, increase the turbulence intensity and produce secondary fluid flows over the heat transf...
