A Numerical Study of Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in a Channel with an Array of Pin Fins in Aligned and Staggered Configurations by Issa, Johnny

“…The pressure coefficient, C p , showed a developing region close to the inlet and a fully developed region as the number of fin rows is increased. The fin array effectiveness, defined as the average Nusselt number to the aggregate pressure coefficient, for all fins in a single row in the streamwise direction, was shown to decrease in the direction of the flow. …”
