A radiator is one of the most important components in vehicular cooling system whose excellent fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics guarantees the engine operations. The calculation workload for performance simulation of a whole radiator is too huge due to its size. Experimental study is the conventional method to study radiator performance. This paper put forward a numerical simulation method and radiator heat transfer units were taken as study objects. Orthogonal experiment method was adopted to arrange multi-factor and multi-level calculation schemes. 23 samples with different fin parameters were simulated to investigate their thermal-hydraulic performances. Compared with experimental testing, this method greatly reduced sample manufacturing cost and testing cost, and offered data support for the effect factor study of radiator heat transfer units.
