Optimisation of liquid jet impingement coldplate for an overclocked CPU with multiple discrete cores

This study details the development of an automated, multi-objective optimisation framework for liquid jet impingement cooling of commercial Central Processing Units (CPUs). Integrating Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and geometric optimisation software tools, optimised jet array configurations were tailored for cooling of a commercial CPU with multiple, heat-generating, high heat flux cores. Experiments were …
