The performance of oblique-wave heat exchangers is assessed through a series of numerical simulation for the development of high-performance compact heat exchangers. The effects of flow passage aspect ratio, wave amplitude and the Reynolds number upon the pressure loss and heat transfer characteristics are systematically investigated. It is found that the j/f factor is significantly enhanced even in the case of rectangular passages with wider aspect ratios, and that the choice of wave amplitude under a prescribed flow velocity condition is critically important to improve the performance of this type of heat exchangers.
