Effect of air compressibility

Simulation Generality

Hi all

I modeled a battery of jets in impact and I used the NavierStokes equations for a compressible ideal gas.

My question is what is the effect of air compressibility on heat transfer, knowing that I work in turbulent conditions.

Thank you

Hello, I am not a professional in this field but here are some links I found that could answer your question.

Thesis on the Numerical study of the effects of compressibility on heat transfer in a hot air anti-icing system: http://espace.etsmtl.ca/54/

It seems to me that the more you compress your air, the more you go into heat. As a result, your transfer must be less good. And the turbulent environment is not straight, so your transfer must also be reduced. But without certainty.

 

That said, are there sites that explain all this;)
