Abstract

Course: Mechanical Engineering In this work, we present the development of a computer simulation algorithm in order to study cold plate fin geometries that improve heat transfer capabilities of eletronics cooling solutions. The stream function-vorticity formulation was used to solve the two-dimensional problem of fluid dynamics and the heat equation for the heat transfer. Using Python,t h efi n i t ee l e m e n tm e t h o dw a si m p l e m e n t e du t i l i z i n g the Galerkin scheme. With the help of the algorithm, the Poiseuille flow between two parallel plates was simulated, alongside the waved fin geometries chosen, that had good results
