Uses of impinging jet devices for heat transfer are described, with a focus on cooling applications within turbine systems. Numerical simulation techniques and results are described, and the relative strengths and drawbacks of the k-ε,k-ω, Reynolds stress model, algebraic stress models, shear stress transport, and v2f turbulence models for impinging jet flow and heat transfer are compared. Select model equations are provided as well as quantitative assessments of model errors and judgments of model suitability.
