The case of a turbulent round jet impinging perpendicularly onto a rotating, heated disc is investigated, in order to understand the mechanisms at the origin of the influence of rotation on the radial wall jet and associated heat transfer. The present study is based on the complementary use of an analysis of the orders of magnitude of the terms of the mean momentum and Reynolds stress transport equations, available experiments, and dedicated Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes computations with refined turbulence models. The Reynolds number Rej = 14 500, the orifice-to-plate distance H = 5D, where D is the jet-orifice diameter, and the four rotation rates were chosen to match the experiments of Minagawa and Obi [“Development of turbulent impinging jet on a rotating disk,” Int. J. Heat Fluid Flow 25, 759–766 (2004)] and comparisons are made with the Nusselt number distribution measured by Popiel and Boguslawski [“Local heat transfer from a rotating disk in an impinging round jet,” J. Heat Transfer 108, 357–364...

The case of a turbulent round jet impinging perpendicularly onto a rotating, heated disc is investigated, aiming at understanding the mechanisms at the origin of the influence of rotation on the radial wall jet and associated heat transfer. The present study is based on the complementary use of an analysis of the order of magnitudes of the terms of the mean momentum and Reynolds stress transport equations, available experiments and dedicated Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) computations with refined turbulence models. The analysis identifies a scenario for the appearance of rotational effects when the rotation rate is gradually increased.
