Effects of Centrifugal Buoyancy and Reynolds Number on Turbulent Heat Transfer in a Two-Pass Angled-RIB-Roughened Channel with Sharp 180° Turns Investigated by Using Large Eddy Simulation

Buoyancy effect on area-averaged Nusselt number at developed region in straight passes (Averaging area was between 5th and 6th ribs from straight pass entrance. Open, filled, half-filled, and concentric symbols are for (, , smooth/rib) = (3500, 2, smooth), (1000, 1, rib), (3000, 1, rib), and (4000, 2, rib), resp. Symbols with solid and broken lines are for aiding and opposing buoyancy contributions, resp.).
