Direct numerical simulation of turbulent heat transfer with a rectangular orifice has been performed for Re
τ0(=u
τ0δ⁄ν) = 300, where u
τ0 is the friction velocity calculated from the mean pressure gradient imposed to drive the flow, δ the channel half width and ν the kinematic viscosity. The Prandtl number is 0.71. The ratio of slit height to channel height is assumed to be β=0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6 and 0.7. For β=0.3-0.6, the mean flow becomes asymmetric in the wall-normal direction by the Coanda effect behind the orifice. In the case of β=0.7, however, the mean flow is symmetry. The Nusselt number profiles over the bottom and top walls are different significantly for the asymmetric cases. Large-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz(K-H) vortices are generated at the orifice edges. An entrainment process is observed in the temperature field around these vortices. Subsequently, these K-H vortices become deformed and break up into disordered small-scale structures in the shear layers behind the orifice. In this scenario, the turbulent transport is promoted in the temperature field. In addition, the separation, the reattachment and also the contraction effects are discussed on the profiles of the mean temperature, the temperature variance and the turbulent heat fluxes.
