Summary

The paper reports on the experimental investigation of the effects of the relative obstacle position on the convective heat transfer from a configuration of two wall-mounted cubes located in a fully developed turbulent channel flow. Both in-line and staggered arrangements were studied for various streamwise and spanwise distances. Distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were obtained from infrared thermography and local convective heat flux analyses. Laser Doppler anemometry measurements and flow visualisations were performed to document the flow and turbulence fields around the cubes. The results showed a large variation in the distribution of the local convective heat transfer for the various in-line and staggered configurations studied.
