This study investigates sidewall slotting effects on latticework cooling channels using MRV and CFD. Strategic slots significantly alter flow near sidewalls, mitigating stagnation zones. Jet region slotting increases Nusselt number by 25.6%. Combined jet and turning region slotting reduces friction factor by 12%. Thermal Performance Factor improves by 47% versus conventional designs.
