Hybrid porous media and fluid domain modeling strategy to optimize a novel staggered fin heat sink design

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel lid-integrated cold plate with distributed fluid delivery architecture to a silicon microchannel heat exchanger. The microchannels consist of a staggered fin array. The manifold topology tolerates the use of a one-component lid, compatible with high volume fabrication processes, such as injection molding. © 2013 IEEE.
