  An axisymmetric jet impinging on a flat plate was simulated using a low-Reynolds number <i>k&minus;&epsilon;</i> model. The accuracy of the numerical calculations was validated by comparing the predicted flow fields with experimental data for various nozzle-plate distance to jet diameter ratios <i>(H/d)</i> and Reynolds numbers. Heat transfer predictions for various <i>H/d</i> showed good agreement with experimental data in the wall jet region, and the complex behavior of heat transfer for small <i>H/d</i> is predicted. However, predictions in the neighborhood of the stagnation point were poor for small <i>H/d</i>. The results suggest that improved modelling in the equation for the dissipation rate of the turbulence kinetic energy is required.
