Simulation Based Characterization: A 3D to 1D System Level Thermo-Fluid CFD Workflow
Overview
3D CFD offers a unique and cost effective approach to characterize multi-arm geometries for use in system simulations. As an alternative to physical test bench methods, the CFD capabilities of FloEFD can simulate complex flows in 3D geometries. The highly 3D interacting nature of the flow can be resolved, without having to resort to assumptions or text book relationships.
A simulation based characterization workflow is presented, demonstrating how FloEFD can be used to characterize complex geometries, passed seamlessly to FloMASTER and added as an N-Arm component to a circuit for subsequent rapid and accurate system simulation.
What You Will Learn

Fans are common in many electronics cooling applications though it may not be well understood why a particular fan type might be better in a particular design. In this presentation we will discuss how experimental fan measurement is obtained and integrated into a CFD model.
