Hi,
I am new to the field of CFD and I need some advice about best software for my requirements. I want to simulate a heat sink mechanism for a laptop (comprising of heat pipe, fins and fan module). Can anyone reccomend me which could be the best CFD software for that purpose? I got in touch with an expert before and she reccomended me Icepack. I dont know much about it. Is it good? Actually the research papers I have reviewed so far normally mention software like Fluent 6.3 or COMSOL maybe. Anyone useful suggestion for the software selection is welcome. Regards, |

how to define surface temps and heatlosses in Ansys, started another topic on that reg. airgaps.
There is CFDesign too, but I don't think I lose 1.6 KW on 10 000mm˛ and temperature difference of 17K..... If it was like that I need 1MW to heat my livingroom... |

Hello sir
I reccommend that you should go for mold flow or ansys for heat sink problems because mold is the speciality software for heat analysis..... for further assistance refer to following site: http://www.futechmachines.com/analysis-section.html

try ICEPAK from ANSYS. Easy to use GUI and meshing with powerful Fluent solver ...
heat pipe: Conductive block with orthotropic properties fins: Conducting blocks fan module: User input fan curve |
