Abstract: Numerical simulations of the flow pattern and forced convective heat transfer in geometries such as those encountered in cooling systems for electronic devices are presented. For Reynolds numbers ...

Abstract: This work reports direct numerical simulations of transitional flows in communicating channels. Above a critical Reynolds number, the flow becomes fluctuating and self-sustained with vortical motions ...

Abstract: Convective heat transport in a grooved channel is numerically investigated using a time-dependent formulation. Conjugate conduction/convection and uniform heat-flux representations for the solid ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional arrangements of electronic packages surface mounted to a printed circuit board represent grooved-channel geometries. For a certain range of Reynolds numbers, these geometries excite ...

Abstract: This work introduces an algorithm that uses simulated annealing to perform electronic component layout while incorporating constraints related to thermal performance. A hierarchical heat transfer ...

Abstract: Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) processes allow the automated building of three-dimensional shapes by successively depositing material in layers. Residual stress-induced tolerance losses are principal ...

Abstract: Residual stress-induced tolerance losses are a principal barrier for using Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) processes to create functional parts out of engineering materials. In Part 1 of this ...

Abstract: Shape deposition manufacturing (SDM) is a solid freeform fabrication (SFF) methodology for automatically building up material layers to form three-dimensional, complex-shaped, multi-material structures. ...

Abstract: In the abdominal segment of the human aorta under a patient’s average resting conditions, pulsatile blood flow exhibits complex laminar patterns with secondary flows induced by adjacent branches ...
