CFD Analyses and Comparison of the Effect of Industrial Heat ‎Sinks in Subsea Control System (SCS)‎

This article is part of the e-cooling project which has been granted by OutoKumpu and Intel. The ‎author has been project manager aiming for optimization of the heat sink application. In this ‎regard, several articles through ۲۰۰۶ to ۲۰۱۲, have been published to explain the chain of the process ‎‎(casting, machining, welding) using the Pin-Fin technology.‎ In ۲۰۱۱ to ۲۰۱۵, The project has been recapped and aiming to develop next design heatsink ‎‎(combined copper- Aluminum heat sink) with special focus for the subsea application. The Risk ‎analyses of the new heat sink design have also been studied. A new model has been developed ‎for industrial production/ optimization process from casting to final processing.‎ The mathematical modeling has been primarily employed to solve the source code addressing the ‎energy of the dissipation rate using the ۳D Navier-Stokes equations. The Ansys Fluent has been ‎employed as the modeling software to implement the source term as subroutine. In this industrial ‎research work the implementation of the mathematical modeling in the Ansys Fluent software is ‎a critical part of the work aiming for design and optimization of the heat sink within SCI ‎application‎.
