Experiments are performed to study (a) slot air jet impingement cooling flow and (b) the heat transfer under acoustic excitations. Both flow visualization and spectral energy evolution measurements along the shear layer are made. The acoustic excitation at either inherent or noninherent frequencies can make the upstream shift for both the moss unstable waves and the resulting vortex formation and its subsequent pairing processes. Ar inherent frequencies the most unstable wave can be amplified, which increases the turbulence intensity in both the shear layer and the core and enhances the heat transfer. Both the turbulence intensity and the heat transfer increase with increasing excitation pressure levels S-pl until partial breakdown of the vortex occurs, At noninherent frequencies, however the most unstable wave can be suppressed, which reduces the turbulence intensity and decreases the hear transfer Both the turbulence intensity and the heat transfer decreases with increasing S-pl, but increases with increasing S-pl when the excitation frequency becomes dominant. For excitation at high Reynolds number with either inherent or noninherent frequency, a greater excitation pressure level is needed to cause the enhancement or the reduction in heat transfer. During the experiments, the inherent frequencies selected for excitation are F-o/2 and F-o/4, the noninherent frequencies are 0.71 F-o, 0.75 F-o, and 0.8 F-o, the acoustic pressure level varies from 70 dB to 100 dB, and the Reynolds number varies from 5500 to 22,000.
