Advanced Thermal-Fluid Management

Research Overview

This area covers advanced cooling technologies—microchannel heat dissipation, heat pipe technology, pool boiling on nanostructured surfaces, server immersion liquid cooling, and lithium-ion battery thermal management—alongside fundamental studies of micro- and nano-scale thermal-fluid phenomena.

At the macro scale, we investigate NACA airfoil pin fins, multi-mini-channel designs, pulsating heat pipes, AAO nanostructure growth on gravity heat pipe inner walls, and hydrophilic/hydrophobic surface modification for pool boiling enhancement. For battery cooling, we develop micro heat pipe arrays, PCM-metal scaffolds, and multi-mini-channel cold plates for lithium-ion packs.

At the micro/nano scale, we study ferrofluid flow in microchannels (pressure-driven, gravity-driven, magnetically controlled), ferrofluid dampers and hydrostatic bearings, hypersonic thermal flow around spherically blunted tangent-ogive nose cones, magnetogasdynamic natural convection, and gas compressibility effects on forced convection in microtubes.
