Effect of the bounding walls configuration on draft water flow through staggered tube bank

The paper presents the numerical study of 3D unsteady buoyancy-induced water flow through a staggered tube bank typical for subsea cooling units used at seabed gas compression modules. For the Grashof number from the range of 105...106 parametric computations have been performed using direct numeric...

Summary:The paper presents the numerical study of 3D unsteady buoyancy-induced water flow through a staggered tube bank typical for subsea cooling units used at seabed gas compression modules. For the Grashof number from the range of 105...106 parametric computations have been performed using direct numerical simulation of the draft water flow in the inter-tube space. For various arrangement of the bounding walls, the effect of the side flow on heat transfer is analyzed and discussed.
