-Impinging jet flow poses a challenge for convective heat transfer models because the stagnation velocity goes to zero numerically near the mean stagnation point and hence the computed Reynolds number is fictitiously low leading to an under-prediction of the local heat transfer coefficient. To handle this problem, the user may specify a special impinging jet heat transfer model, as discussed in the FDS User Guide \cite{FDS_Users_Guide}, which basically uses the forced convection correlation but with a velocity scale obtained from the stagnation pressure, following Huang \cite{Huang:1963,Livingood:1973}. In this section, we present results from a series of cases designed to confirm the general trend that the highest heat transfer coefficient is found at the stagnation point. There is no analytical solution to this case. We take our target correlation to be that of Martin \cite{Martin:1977,Incropera:1}. The default coefficients of the impinging jet model have been tuned to match the Martin correlation for the specific case discussed below at coarse grid resolution.
