CFD-BASED STUDY ON RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COOLING PERFORMANCE OF PULSATING FLOW AND RIB HEIGHT MOUNTED IN MINI RECTANGULAR CHANNEL
Tóm tắt
This study aims to develop a novel water-cooled device that increases heat transfer performance while
inhibiting the increase of pumping power for next-generation electronic equipment. Our previous reports
have reported that the combination of the pulsating flow, which is the unsteady flow that the supply flow rate
is periodically changed likes a blood in the body of human beings, and the rib has higher cooling efficiency. In
this report, in order to optimize the dimensions of the ribs from the viewpoint of the cooling performance, an
investigation of the pulsating flow around the rib was conducted through 2D-CFD analysis while changing the
height of the rib. It was found that the level of the heat transfer enhancement was dependent on the rib height.
