Thermal performance augmentation in round tube with louvered V-winglet vortex generator

•A new louvered V-shaped winglet (LVW) is proposed to augment thermal performance.•The LVW has a superior thermal performance to the solid winglet.•Thermal behaviors in a tube are experimentally and numerically explored.•Optimal parameters of the LVW included their correlations are put forward. The...
