As the mass transfer can be deducted from the heat transfer Reynolds -number Re 179000 to 679000

average shear stress on the plate and the velocity v and
density of the fluid at the nozzle exit.
In order to correlate these results a set of dimensionless

impingement wall velocities-local distributions
Nevertheless the average heat transfer coefficient for the
analyzed range of parameters differs only slightly from the
values for the stationary surface. Thus the influence of the
moving surface might be ignored, if only the average heat
transfer coefficient is of importance, as it is for many
industrial applications.
For minimum distance heat transfer, there are two different
flow regimes: quasi-symmetric flow and asymmetric flow. For
small and medium angles the flow is mostly influenced by the
choked flow and the distribution of heat transfer coefficient,
normal pressure and shear stress is almost symmetric. As the
distance between nozzle exit and surface is very low, the
deflection of the jet has little effect. For larger angles the
distribution is asymmetric, with higher heat transfer

the quasi-symmetric regime is taken into account.
The change in the angle influences both the wall boundary
region as well as the stagnation region. The normal pressure is

and the heat transfer decreases. There is also a slight change in
the normal pressure but not significantly. VIII. IMPINGEMENT SURFACE WITH CURVED PROFILE
Finally the influence of the curvature of the impingement
surface on heat transfer, normal force and shear force is
analyzed. For the simulation three configurations were chosen
with the amplitude of the curvature of 10%, 20% and 50% of
the reference distance of the nozzle from the impingement
surface. The shape of the curvature follows a cosine–function,

The curvature mostly affects the shear stress and to a lesser
extent the heat transfer. With increased distance from the
nozzle exit the shear stress and the heat transfer decreases.
There is also a slight change in the normal pressure but not
significantly.
IX. GENERAL CORRELATION
All the results were correlated together to get a single

profiles – local distribution normal pressure coefficient and average Shear force

Combining all the results yields this set of equations

As the analysis was performed only for air, the dependence
on the Prandtl-number is not included. These correlation
equations can be readily used for design purposes or for an
optimization of an appropriate process.
