Résumé

Abstract A computational analysis of steady turbulent forced convection flow in a two- dimensional isothermal-wall rectangular channel fitted with lower and upper wall-mounted corrugated baffles is carried out in the present work. The governing equations based on the SST k-ω model used to describe the turbulence, are solved by the finite volume approach using the SIMPLE algorithm. The velocity and temperature fields, the temperature profiles, as well as the Nusselt number distribution were presented for a typical case.
