Summary

The use of automotive turbocharger engine intercoolers means high flow velocities. Analysis of their unsteady nature is necessary. In the paper, a numerical analysis was conducted, taking into account flow instability, to determine how the fluctuation in the flow of the fin wake affects the efficiency of heat transfer of each rear fin. It was ascertained that the heat transfer enhancement of the fin is related to each fin space and Reynolds number.
