Numerical predictions of three-dimensional flow and heat transfer are presented for a two-pass square channel with ° parallel ribs. Square sectioned ribs were employed along the one side surface. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (e/Dh) is 0.125 and the rib pitch-to-height ratio (P/e) is 10. The computation results were compared with the experimental data of Ekkad and Han (1997) at a Reynolds number (Re) of 30,000.
