Pin fins have a variety of applications in industry due to their excellent heat transfer performance, e.g., in cooling of electronic components, in cooling of gas turbine blades, and
recently, in hot water boilers of central heating systems. The forced convective heat transfer in three dimensional porous pin fin channels is numerically studied using ANSYS Fluent. Geometric modelling is done using Design Modeller and CFD Meshing is carried out using ANSYS Meshing Preprocessor. The effects of Reynolds number (Re), pore density (PPI) and pin fin form are studied in detail.
