A grid (mesh) defines a tessellated collection of small volumes that cover the 3D volume of space that is to be simulated using CFD. The governing equations are integrated (discretized) over these volumes and solved iteratively until they those equations are satisfied. Out of the process comes predicted values of temperature, pressure, velocity etc. at each of those grid cells. … [Read more...]

By Yogesh Fulpagare and Atul Bhargav Energy Systems Research Laboratory, Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, India With the advancement of technology, the access to information has become rapid as well as ubiquitous. These mammoth resources which can be accessed through one click are stored and processed in data centers. These data centers are one of the largest and … [Read more...]
New Platform for Nanoscale Thermal Measurements
A CCNY team led by physics professors Carlos Meriles and Elisa Riedo recently reported on a platform for nanoscale thermal measurements based on magnetic resonance, and optical and atomic force microscopy. “Their paper, ‘Imaging thermal conductivity with nanoscale resolution using a scanning spin probe,’ is based on a simple notion: that a hot probe in contact with a thermally … [Read more...]
A Figure of Merit for Smart Phone Thermal Management
By Victor Chiriac1, Steve Molloy1, Jon Anderson1, Ken Goodson2 1 Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., 2 Stanford Mechanical Engineering Introduction With smart phones and other mobile devices available in a variety of sizes and shapes, it is challenging to think in a consistent and comparative manner about the effectiveness of the thermal management solutions that they employ. This … [Read more...]
Top 7 FloTHERM V11 Features – #4: FloMCAD Automation
Software can be described in two ways, what it does (functional) and how it does it (non-functional). As a software matures in terms of its functional capability it is often the case that more effort goes in to developing it's non-functional strengths. We introduced 'FloSCRIPT' with V10, a scripting language to enable FloTHERM to be operated without the need for laborious … [Read more...]
