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 2006 to 2012, have been published to explain the chain of the process (casting, machining, welding) using the Pin-Fin technology. In 2011 to 2015, 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 3D 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.
