Abstract

Heat transport in fluid flows is a complex and vital aspect of numerous natural and industrial processes. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms, challenges, and applications associated with heat transport in fluid flows. Understanding heat transfer mechanisms, including conduction, convection, and radiation, is fundamental to predicting temperature distributions and optimizing heat management strategies. Challenges such as turbulence, boundary condition determination, and multiphase flows present obstacles in accurate modeling and prediction of heat transport phenomena. Despite challenges, advancements in numerical modeling, experimental techniques, and the development of innovative materials offer promising avenues for improving heat transfer efficiency and sustainability. This review highlights the diverse applications of heat transport in energy systems, climate modeling, thermal management, and biomedical engineering. Future directions include the exploration of advanced numerical techniques, renewable energy systems, and nanofluid-based heat transfer enhancement. Overall, this review underscores the importance of interdisciplinary research efforts in advancing our understanding of heat transport in fluid flows and its practical implications.
