The effect of rib installation on heat transfer enhancement of two-dimensional impingement jet has been studied in the wall jet region by mass transfer experiments using a naphthalene sublimation method and numerical simulations with Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models. The effect of rib-height, rib-location, and distance between the ribs on the heat transfer enhancement was systematically examined. As a result, the rib installation was found to induce flow separation and reattachment behind the rib and to promote heat transfer in the wall jet region. The local peak Nusselt number at the reattachment point attained the highest value when the rib height was as tall as the corresponding boundary layer thickness of a no-rib case at the rib position. There is an optimal rib-height to maximize the area-averaged Nusselt number, which is determined by a trade-off between the peak Nusselt number and heat transfer area enhanced by the rib. From numerical results, it appeared that the Abe-Kondoh-Nagano (AKN) model was found to predict reattachment length best among three RANS models, which then resulted in good agreement of the local Nusselt number distributions between experiments and simulations except the stagnation and reattachment regions, where over-and under-estimation occurred.
