The 3-D numerical computation of the flow and temperature fields for jet array impingement with initial crossflow investigates the effects of the jet-to-surface spacing, the impinging hole arrangement and the jet-to-crossflow mass flux ratio on heat transfer characteristics. The study shows that: (1) under the different jet-to-surface spacing, the impingement cooling with inline arrangement is better than that with staggered arrangement for a given jet-to-crossflow mass flux ratio;( 2 ) the value of jet-to-surface spacing impacts a complicated effect on the flow and heat transfer for jet array impingement; (3) as the ratio of crossflow-to-jet mass flux ratio increases, the cooling effectiveness on monotonous decrease for both inline and staggered arrangements at the same jet-to-surface spacing.
