This article innovatively introduces the application of punched curved rectangular wing vortex generators positioned on opposing sides of a rectangular microchannel. Through a comprehensive approach combining numerical simulations and experimental investigations, the flow dynamics and heat transfer performance of these VGs under turbulent conditions are thoroughly examined. This analysis is performed in the turbulent flow regime, specifically at Reynolds number ranging from 2500 to 3500. The governing equations are solved by using SST k-omega model. To evaluate the behavior of mixed vortices, a range of key metrics is utilized, including the Nusselt number ratio, friction coefficient ratio, and thermal enhancement factor (TEF). The study encompasses variations in opening angles (theta = 0 degrees, 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees) and pitch ratios (PR = P/H = 15, 30, 45) to determine their impact on the overall system performance. The findings reveal that the punched curved rectangular winglet VGs effectively induce mixed vortices, leading to an enhancement in local heat transfer rates. However, the presence of fluid jets hinders the formation of other vortices. Compared to a smooth tube, the maximum TEF also experiences a 26 % rise. To validate the findings, the field synergy principle and entropy generation theory was utilized.
