This research was aimed at studying the numerical and experimental characteristics of the air flow impinging on a dimpled surface. Heat transfer enhancement between a hot surface and the air is supposed to be obtained from a dimple effect. In the experiment, 15 types of test plate were investigated at different distances between the jet and test plate (B), dimple diameter (d) and dimple distance (Er and Eθ). The testing fluid was air presented in an impinging jet flowing at Re = 1500 to 14,600. A comparison of the heat transfer coefficient was performed between the jet impingement on the dimpled surface and the flat plate. The velocity vector and the temperature contour showed the different air flow characteristics from different test plates. The highest thermal enhancement factor (TEF) was observed under the conditions of B = 2 d, d = 1 cm, Er= 2 d, Eθ = 1.5 d and Re = 1500. This TEF was obtained from the dimpled surface and was 5.5 times higher than that observed in the flat plate.
