AB - Turbulent heat transfer between a confined jet flowing in a hot rectangular  cavity is studied numerically by finite volume method using the k-w SST one  point closure turbulence model. The location of the jet inside the cavity is  chosen so that the flow is in the non-oscillation regime. The flow structure  is described for different jet-to-bottom-wall distances. A parametrical study  was conducted to identify the influence of the jet exit location and the  Reynolds number on the heat transfer coefficient. The parameters of this  study are: the jet exit Reynolds number (Re, 1560< Re <33333), the  temperature difference between the cavity heated wall and the jet exit  (DT=60°C) and the jet location inside the cavity (Lf, 2≤ Lf≤ 10 and Lh  2.5  Keywords: jet-cavity interaction, heat transfer, plane jet, turbulence modeling
