The aim of this design was to improve the heat transfer performance significantly due to larger turbulent region and much vortices formed by tube inserted. In this article, the BSL k-ω model was chosen as turbulence model to simulate the thermohydraulic performance of the proposed tubes inserted with rectangular winglet vortex generators (RWVGs) when the Re was set as 5000 to 15,000. The reliability of the simulation results was obtained by comparing with the empirical formulas and experimental results. By means of numerical simulation, the influence mechanism of geometric parameters of RWVGs on thermal-hydraulic performance in tubes was analyzed. And the impact of three configurational parameters on the thermal performance was studied, namely the angle α, the height H and the number N of the RWVGs, respectively. The results revealed that the capacity of heat transfer in tubes with RWVG inserts was obviously larger than that in ordinary circular tube. In addition, it could be seen from the results that both Nu and f increased with the increase of H and N. At the same time, the case of α = 135° showed the greatest enhancement of thermal performance than the case of α = 45° and α = 90°.The PEC achieved the highest value of 1.23 when the height H of RWVG was 0.7 mm, the number N was 20, and angle α was 135°.
