The turbulent convective heat transfer in the finned tubes with circumferential fins is investigated numerically, and the field synergy principal is used to discuss how the velocity field and temperature field influence heat transfer. It can be found in numerical simulation that near P/H=8, the harmony between velocity and temperature field is the best; the harmony of field harmony becomes better with the augment of fin spacing. The results verify that the synergy principal can be applied to turbulent convection.
