A numerical simulation was carried out for solving the momentum and energy equations of a three dimensional vortex- laminar flow (Reynolds number < 190) with a finite volume method based commercial code FLUENT 16.2. Reynolds number, angle of attack and VG configuration have been considered as influential parameters affecting the thermo-hydraulic performance of the sudden expansion channel due to the combined effect of primary recirculation and secondary vortex flow. The heat transfer enhancement along with corresponding pressure drop penalty was compared for the toe-out and toe-in configurations at various Reynolds (Re) numbers and angle of attacks (?). Eventually irrespective of configurations, rectangular winglet VGs are found to have better overall performance at ? = 30� and ? = 45� in both toe-out and toe-in configurations due to strong secondary vortex flow. � 2019, KSME & Springer.
