This paper describes the characteristics of the heat transfer and flow of a swirling laminar impinging jet in a comparatively narrow space with a confined wall. Air is impinged on a flat surface with constant wall temperature. The heat transfer and flow field were analyzed numerically by solving three-dimensional governing equations. Heat transfer experiment and flow visualization were also performed. Numerical heat transfer was compared with experimental results. Temperature distribution and velocity vectors in the space were obtained for various swirl numbers at Reynolds number Re=2000. The numerical and experimental results show that the swirling jet enhances or depresses the local heat transfer, and the average Nusselt number ratio with and without swirl takes a peak at a certain swirl number.
