Numerical Simulation of Laminar Forced Convection of Pin-Fin Heat-Sink Array in a Channel by Using Porous Approach

This work used a porous approach model to numerically investigate the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of the pin-fin heat-sink array in a rectangular channel with in-line arrangement. The air flow through the channel was laminar. The pin-fin heat sinks with various porosities and pin-fi...
