A 3D-CAD model, developed in Autodesk Fusion, analysed aluminium fins subjected to a heat flux of 5903 W/m under flow conditions with Reynolds numbers from 8490 to 23300. Four mesh types Tetrahedral, Polyhedral, Hexacore and Poly-Hexacore were compared. Mesh independence analysis showed that Hexacore meshes, especially Mesh Set-F (4,568,602 elements), delivered high accuracy in predicting Nusselt numbers and pressure drops, making them suitable for detailed simulations. Polyhedral meshes, particularly Mesh Set-E (498,044 elements), exhibited the best computational efficiency, ideal for resource-conscious analyses. The study underscores the trade-offs between accuracy and computational cost. Hexacore meshes are recommended for precise evaluations, while Polyhedral meshes are better suited for preliminary designs or time-sensitive applications. However, Hexacore meshes require higher computational resources, limiting their practicality for large-scale or real-time simulations. Major Findings: The findings are valuable for industries such as Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC), automotive and electronics cooling, where heat exchanger performance predictions are crucial. By tailoring mesh configurations to specific project needs, engineers can optimise simulation accuracy and computational efficiency, enhancing design workflows and outcomes. The study provides a framework for balancing accuracy and cost, offering insights into mesh selection for effective thermal and fluid performance evaluations. 2025, Informatics Publishing Limited.
