Abstract: The present work experimentally and numerically investigates the local heat transfer enhancement induced by a piezoelectric fan interacting with a cross flow in a local heated channel. The piezoelectric fan is placed along the flow direction and tested under different amplitudes and flow rates. In the simulations, a spring-based smoothing method and a local remeshing technique are used to handle the moving boundary problems. Hybrid mesh is used to reduce the size of dynamic mesh domain and to improve computational efficiency. The experimental and numerical values of the time-averaged mean Nusselt number are found to be in good agreement, with deviations of less than 10%. The experimental result shows that the heat transfer performance of the heated surfaces is substantially enhanced with a vibrating piezoelectric fan. The numerical result shows that the heat transfer enhancement comes from the strong longitudinal vortex pairs generated by the piezoelectric fan, which significantly promote heat exchange between the main flow and the near-wall flow. In the case of a=0.66 (a is the dimensionless amplitude) and Re=1820, the enhancement ratio of the time-averaged mean Nusselt number reaches 119.9%.
