We're all familiar with the glamorous side of CFD: beautiful color raster plots showing velocity vectors rushing over the sleek body of the latest super car. But there are other fundamental CFD applications, while much less publicized, that are critical for improving the accuracy of CFD simulations. This is the kind of work done by the Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute (NMIRI) in Nagoya, Japan.
Two specific NMIRIs projects focus on developing novel measurement techniques for better characterization of electronics component heat generation and material properties, both basic inputs to electronics thermal simulations. Cradle HeatDesigner electronics cooling CFD software is an integral part of these projects. Read about the work being done at NMIRI in this narrated interview with Yasushi Kajita from the Systems Technology Department at NMIRI.
