A numerical study has been conducted to examine turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional square-duct with V-shaped ribs. The computations are based on RANS and LES models. Water is the working fluid with the flow rate of which Reynolds numbers equals to 18500. The computation reveals that two symmetrical fully developed helical flow and developed heat transfer profile are generated. Effects of different rib shape on thermal characteristics for a ribbed duct flow are investigated. The change of the shape leads to increase in heat transfer and pressure loss. The velocity profile in the vicinity of ribs and streamline has been investigated, indicates that the different flow structures generated by the rib shape leads to superior heat transfer performance. Vortices are visualized, which indicates the connection between the heat transfer and flow structure
