Since more than half a century, impinging jet heat transfer has been investigated in many studies. They can be easily introduced into industrial devices and often generate local improvements in heat and mass transfer. Numerical methods based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) equations are applied to the thermal prediction of flows of different impinging jets. Several types of jets interactions are considered.

Amina Mataoui has been a Professor of Physics in Theoretical and Applied Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics, University of Science and Technology Houari Boumediene–USTHB, Algiers. She has been active in turbulence research for three decades. My research concerns the development of numerical methods for the prediction of unsteady fluid flows. My main areas of interest are flows about jets and flow control of heated turbulent flow.
