Abstract

This study develops a 3D-CFD model to analyze the thermal performance of perforated fin heat sinks and evaluates four perforated continuous and interrupted fin heat sinks with distinct geometric patterns. Using the Finite-Volume Method (FVM) to discretize the governing equations, the SolidWorks 2019 flow simulation software was implemented to solve and validate the latter, demonstrating that the CFD simulation model employed in the current study is reliable. The performance parameters of the heat sink are presented in terms of Reynolds number and heater power. The results indicate that modules B and C achieved higher heat transfer rates, average heat transfer coefficient, and Nusselt number compared to the other modules. Module A had the highest fin efficiency and module D exhibited greater fin effectiveness than the other ones.
