Abstract
Basic methodology has been developed for a numerical modeling and heat exchange in a smooth channel and in a channel with a discrete roughness in the form of semispherical dimples. The methodology provides a possibility of computerized parametric calculations that adequately enough model the examined physical phenomena and allow to determine their characteristics being of practical interest. The efficiency of the examined discretely rough surface was estimated based on the coefficients of heat transfer and hydraulic resistance.
