Wait a minute. One of the major points of using a computer to do thermal calculations is for the software to 'figure' out the heat transfer coefficients (natural, forced, radiation view). Faster would be a hand calculation or spreadsheet for this sort of problem. Also what is the cooling fluid and how do you change its properties?
Yes, but hand calculations are not going to give you values for every single little crevice of a particular geometry. Think about how much more information you can glean from a gradient map such as this.
@@AvivMakesRobots I could design custom gpu cooler that would fit perfectly in my Ghost s1 (itx pc case) and then send it to some manufacturer on aliexpress ! ❤
Is a simulation like this possible when you have just a sink and no cpu heat source, and no given wattage? Just a temperature from the base, and natural convection
The main consideration stems from how they break out from the main CPU heatpoint. For this design, I would make the ribs right in the center higher since they are more intimately connected to the CPU and the outer fins shorter to save on size and material.
I didn't get what is the airflow direction? Your heatsink was plaсed with edges parallel to X-Y with Z pointed to the top. If Fusion asumes that your CPU placed at the bottom - ribs will not work as expected.
I think the value for convective coefficient in Fusion is Average value, so doesn’t account the airflow direction. If you want to consider airflow direction, you have to use cfd analysis. Like what i did: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HGJObpJZQEo.html
@@carlasouza5306 Lol you guys are funny. In all seriousness, I may want to focus the tutorials on metric from now on. Most of the views are outside the US, so it would make sense.
