Effect of Geometry on the Conjugate Heat Transfer of Wall Jet Flow Over a Backward-Facing Step

Conjugate heat transfer study of a backward-facing step cooled by a two-dimensional laminar incompressible wall jet has been carried out. The study is performed to find the isotherm patterns, conjugate interface temperature, local Nusselt number and average Nusselt number by varying the geometry of the solid slab. Different step length, step height, and slab thickness are considered for conjugate heat transfer study.
