Topics: Gas dynamics, Turbulence, Flow-structure interaction, Forced convection, Heat transfer coefficient, Visualization techniques

The effects of fan flow on the heat transfer characteristics in high-density packaging electronic equipment are investigated experimentally using the test model, which has some geometric features commonly found in thin electronic equipment, in order to improve the reliability of the cooling design.
