Computational fluid dynamics analysis of a V-rib with gap roughened solar air heater

A CFD analysis of a solar air heater has been carried out using V-shaped ribs as artificial roughness on the absorber plate. The relative roughness pitch, P/e = 6-12, Reynolds number of 3800-18000, relative roughness height, e/D = = 0.042, and angle of attack, α = 30°-75°, have been selected as desi...
