Heat transfer augmentation is of paramount importance in energy transfer and storage systems and the idea of using the inherent vibrations in a system to enhance heat transfer needs to be thoroughly researched upon. The current study numerically investigates an infinitesimally thin plate-fin undergoing forced oscillations over a range of amplitudes and frequencies in the presence of an approach flow. Reduced frequencies of 0.25 ≤ k ≤16 and plunge amplitudes of 0.03125 ≤ h ≤ 8 are investigated at Re=100 and Pr = 0.71. It is shown that the combined effect of frequency and amplitude on heat transfer enhancement can be accounted for as a single parameter “plunge velocity” (0.25 ≤ kh ≤ 4) instead of the individual frequency and amplitude values. For kh > 0.5 a significant increase in Nusselt number ( is observed compared to a stationary plate. With increasing kh or more vigorous oscillations, the increase in becomes more prominent and similar trends and comparable magnitudes were observed for a constant value. Unlike the hydrodynamic counterpart of the study, both Leading Edge Vortices (LEVs) and Trailing Edge Vortices (TEVs) are found to act positively to induce enhanced heat transfer on the plate. Finally, the dependence of heat transfer augmentation on the frequency and amplitude of vibration is quantified with a simple parameterization for a plate-fin in a fluid medium. / M.S. / Heat transfer enhancement is of paramount importance in energy transfer and storage systems. The idea of using the inherent mechanical vibrations in a heat producing system to enhance transfer of unwanted heat from that system needs to be thoroughly researched upon. To investigate this idea, we numerically study an infinitesimally thin plate-fin undergoing forced oscillations over a range of amplitudes and frequencies in the presence of an incoming air flow. It is shown that the combined effect of frequency and amplitude on heat transfer enhancement can be accounted for as a single parameter called “plunge velocity” instead of the individual frequency and amplitude values. For a significant plunge velocity, a significant increase in Nusselt number ( is observed compared to a stationary plate representing an increase in the extent of heat transferred. With more vigorous oscillations, the increase in becomes more prominent and similar trends and comparable magnitudes were observed for a constant value. Finally, the dependence of heat transfer augmentation on the frequency and amplitude of vibration is quantified with a simple parameterization for a plate-fin in a fluid medium.
