Abstract

Green’s function method was adopted to study the problem of vibrating effect on heat transfer in laminar flow with constant flux and the influence of Prandtl number and the vibrating frequency on the heat transfer characteristics was investigated. The results show that the variation of the frequency leads to a different distribution of the unsteady velocity and temperature; with a lower frequency, the vibrating will weaken the heat transfer, but the heat transfer will be enhanced with a higher frequency. A lower Prandtl number leads to a strenuous variation of heat transfer.
