Heat transfer to air from a yawed cylinder

Abstract An experimental program is reported on heat transfer to air from a yawed cylinder with a uniform temperature. The Independence Principle is confirmed for the laminar boundary layer region over the range of yaws investigated (20–60°). At high normal Reynolds numbers, Ren, (based on the velocity component normal to the cylinder) and low yaws, the local normalized Nusselt numbers, Nuθ/√Ren, in the wake region appears nearly independent of yaw and Ren; whereas at low Ren the local normalized Nusselt number is dependent upon both position and Ren. The heat transfer results at high yaws show a marked difference from those at low yaws.
