Impingement Cooling Using the Ionic Wind Generated by a Low-Voltage Piezoelectric Transformer

As the consumer demand for smaller, more sophisticated computers grows, the need arises for new air cooling methods that will work in geometries that mechanical fans cannot. Ionic winds (also known as electrohydrodynamic flows) are flows that are produced by the generation of a gas discharge. These...
