Experimental and numerical investigations were made to simulate heat transfer characteristics of a single impinging hole and short impinging distance with cross-flow. The results show that:(1)in the experiment
the average Nusselt number of the impingement surface increases with the increase of cross-flow; (2)the Nusselt number in the front impact area decreases with the increase of cross-flow
because the flow velocity near the wall decreases
weakening the heat transfer effect; (3)the Nusselt number behind impact area near the impact point increases with the increase of cross-flow
because the vortexes directions between the horseshoe vortex in the upstream near the impact point and the stretching vortex produced by impinging jet are the same
and these two vortexes enhance the heat transfer in the impact surface.
