•The available Nusselt number correlations exhibit discrepancies of 40% to 90%.•New Nusselt number correlations for air and water predict our 2282 simulations with 4% accuracy.•The Nusselt number increases linearly with the Reynolds number due to strong flow inertia.•The spatial independence of the...
