Abstract

A numerical study is performed by a multigrid technique, to simulate the combined heat transfer conduction/laminar convection in a three-dimensional channel, with three protruding heated integrated circuits (ICs). The effects of the variation of the streamwise spacing between the ICs on the conjugate heat transfer have been studied through the evolution of the velocity, the temperature, the Nusselt number and heat flux fields.
