AB - Numerical simulations of forced convective incompressible flow in a horizontal plane channel with adiabatic walls over two isothermal tandem triangular cylinders of equal size are presented to investigate the effect of wall proximity of obstacles, gap space (i.e. gap between two squares), and Reynolds number. Computations have been carried out for Reynolds numbers of (based on triangle width) 100, 250, and 350. Results show that, wall proximity has different effect on first and second triangle in fluid characteristics especially in lower gap spaced, while for heat transfer a fairly same behavior was seen.
