The dependence of the Nusselt number on the time-averaged velocity and temperature fields was derived for turbulent convective heat transfer to show that the field coordination principle is also suitable for turbulent convective heat transfer. The features of convective heat transfer in tubes and the field coordination principle was used to develop an enhanced heat transfer tube—the alternating elliptical axis tube. The numerical and experimental results show that heat transfer is markedly enhanced with less additional flow drag than the other enhanced tube designs.
