Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular relates to a comprehensive optimization design method for a flow channel of a free boundary liquid cooling plate with non-uniform heat load. Background Art
[0002] With the development trend of miniaturization, intelligence, high integration and multifunctionality of electronic equipment, the thermal problem of power devices in electronic equipment has become a key issue restricting its efficiency and performance. Thermal management has gradually become the core design of electronic equipment together with structural design, and the design concept of thermal-structural integration has also received more and more attention. Liquid cooling plates, as an efficient cooling carrier, can provide structural support and thermal control for electronic equipment at the same time. They are widely used in the substrate design of electronic equipment, among which the layout design of the flow channel is crucial.
[0003] Since Okkels introduced the temperature field into Navier-Stokes flow and successfully applied topology optimization to the design of micro-nano flow cooling systems, the design of heat dissipation systems based on topology optimization methods has become popular, including the morphology design of heat dissipation fins under natural convection and the layout design of flow channels under forced convection. The design results are also widely used in high-power electronic devices such as concentrated photovoltaic arrays, lithium battery arrays and transmitting antenna arrays, and a design model with the optimization of fluid dissipation power and surface temperature uniformity as the target has gradually been formed. In the past, in the flow channel design process based on topology optimization, the establishment of the objective function and the influence of the optimization parameters on the flow channel were usually considered, such as the weight factor of the multi-objective function and the penalty factor (Jiao Wang, Study of the influence of objective functions on the topology optimization design of battery cold plate, Applied Thermal Engineering 226 (2023) 120326; Zhuo Liu, Numerical analysis of topology-optimized cold plates for thermal management of battery packs, Applied Thermal Engineering 238 (2024) 121983; Chen Sun, Thermal design of composite cold plates by topology optimization, International Journal of Mechanical Sciences 259 (2023) 108594. etc.).
[0004] The flow channel distribution of the liquid cooling plate is not only related to the above factors, but also affected by factors including the surface heat load distribution, inlet and outlet boundary conditions, and the direction of gravity, which have been mostly ignored in previous studies. Among them, the heat load distribution is particularly important. The heat load distribution can be divided into two cases: the first case is the active phased array antenna, whose surface heat load depends on the T / R component unit, and the heat load distribution is mostly discrete; the second case is the concentrated photovoltaic conversion system. Due to the characteristics of the concentrated system, the heat distribution on the photovoltaic cell array is mostly continuous and non-uniform. Hengsong Ji (Topology design of cold plates for pouch battery thermal management considering heat distribution characteristics, Applied Thermal Engineering 224 (2023) 119940) expressed the heat load as a continuous function related to the design domain size, and compared it with the uniform heat load. However, the influence of the flow channel inlet and outlet on the flow channel distribution when the design is similar to the length and width ratio is ignored, which limits the further improvement of the performance of the liquid cooling plate. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a comprehensive optimization design method for the flow channel of a free boundary liquid cooling plate with non-uniform heat load. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0034] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0035] Combination Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for comprehensive optimization design of free boundary liquid cooling plate flow channel with non-uniform heat load, including:
[0036] S100, determining design parameters of a liquid cooling plate applied to the electronic device according to actual parameters of the electronic device;
[0037] refer to Figure 2 ,According to the actual situation of the electronic equipment, that is, the actual parameters of the electronic equipment, the overall size parameters, boundary parameters, size parameters of the design domain, environmental application parameters, thermal conductivity parameters of the material itself and heat transfer parameters of the coolant are designed.
[0038] Among them, the overall size parameters include: length l cp and width cp The size parameters of the design domain include the design domain length l Ω and the design domain width w Ω The boundary parameters include two entrances and two exits, and the width of the two entrances is l in , the width of both outlets is l out The two entrance positions are h in,1 With h in,2 The two exit positions are h out,1 With h out,2 ; The environmental application parameter is the direction of gravity, and the direction of gravity is positioned as follows Figure 2 In the direction of the middle arrow; if the solid material of the liquid cooling plate is aluminum 6061-T6, the thermal conductivity parameters of the material itself include thermal conductivity k s , specific heat capacity cp s and density ρ s ; The heat transfer parameters of the coolant include thermal conductivity k f , constant pressure specific heat capacity cp f and density ρ f .
[0039] S200, determining multi-input and multi-output boundary conditions of the liquid cooling plate according to the design parameters;
[0040] This step uses boundary parameters to design the multi-input boundary conditions, multi-output boundary conditions and insulation conditions of the liquid cooling plate; Figure 2 The figure shows the schematic diagram of the parameterized design of multiple inlet / outlet boundary conditions. The multiple inlet / outlet boundary conditions refer to two inlet boundaries and two outlet boundaries. The boundary conditions are composed of flow and heat transfer. The boundary conditions are parameterized. Among them, the parameters of the inlet boundary are: inlet width l in , entrance position h in,1 With h in,2 , inlet fluid temperature T in,1 With T in,2 , inlet flow rate U in,1 with U in,2 The parameters of the outlet boundary are outlet width l out 、Exit location h out,1 With h out,2 , outlet pressure P out,1 With P out,2 . Therefore, the boundary conditions of multiple inputs are expressed as:
[0041]
[0042] The extra boundary conditions are expressed as:
[0043]
[0044] In addition, the external heat transfer condition of the design domain Ω is adiabatic condition, which is expressed as:
[0045]
[0046] In the formula, Γ in , Γ out They represent the boundary conditions of the inlet and outlet respectively, and n is the outlet boundary Γ out The outer normal vector of the particle, I is the unit vector, μ is the dynamic viscosity, and U is the velocity vector.
[0047] S300, establishing two discrete and continuous non-uniform heat load application scenarios, and determining heat loads in the two non-uniform heat load application scenarios;
[0048] This step continues to define the heat load that exists in the actual working process, mainly including two typical working conditions: discrete and continuous.
[0049] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, S300 includes:
[0050] S310, establish two non-uniform heat load application scenarios: discrete and continuous;
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, there are two typical scenarios of non-uniform heat load. Figure 3 The left side in the middle is a discrete non-uniform heat load application scenario, with the active phased array antenna array in microwave wireless energy transmission as a typical representative. In microwave wireless energy transmission, in order to ensure that energy is transmitted and intercepted with maximum efficiency, the antenna array usually uses array units with different radiation powers for arrangement and distribution. Due to the device efficiency, the heat load of array units with different radiation powers also presents non-uniform distribution characteristics. For example, Xun Li (Study of Stepped Amplitude Distribution Taper for Microwave Power Transmission for SSPS, IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2017, 65(10): 5396-5405) designed the antenna to be stepped, with high radiation power at the center and low at the edge. The antenna array unit is divided into several table-shaped rings, and each ring uses a radiator of one power. Its heat load also presents a stepped distribution with high center and low edge, and has the characteristic of constant heat load in each step ring.
[0052] Figure 3The middle right side is an application scenario of continuous non-uniform heat load, with the concentrated photovoltaic array in the energy system of the space power station as a typical representative. In the concentrated space energy collection system, in order to ensure efficient energy collection and conversion, the concentrating system usually optimizes the configuration of the concentrator or the battery receiving array, and also adopts a modular design concept. The energy on the photovoltaic array often shows a ring-shaped continuous energy distribution due to the form of the concentrator, such as the OMEGA solution or the Fresnel lens concentrating system. In addition, due to the presence of various error factors such as splicing errors and tracking errors in the concentrating system, the energy on the battery receiving array breaks the ring-shaped continuous characteristics, and the energy or heat load on it also shows strong irregular and non-uniform characteristics, and the heat load at each point also has the characteristics of random distribution.
[0053] S320, dividing the surface of the liquid cooling plate in the discrete non-uniform heat load application scenario into N×M first grid units of equal size from two dimensions, longitudinally and transversely, and applying a constant heat load to each of the first grid units to obtain a heat load in the discrete non-uniform heat load application scenario;
[0054] refer to Figure 4 In this step, the cold plate surface is divided into N and M first grid units of equal size from the longitudinal and transverse dimensions respectively. The size of each first grid unit is
[0055] l H = l Ω / M,w H =w Ω / N;
[0056] In the formula, l H With w H are the length and width of the first grid unit respectively;
[0057] A constant heat load Q is applied inside each first grid unit. d,i , constant heat load Q d,i Assigned to four levels, the surface heat load can be expressed as:
[0058] Q d,i ∈Q d =[Q d1 ,Q d2 ,Q d3 ,Q d4 ],i=1,2,…,N×M;
[0059] In the formula, Q d is a set of discrete non-uniform heat load levels, Q d1 , Q d2 , Q d3 With Q d4 They represent the heat loads of the first, second, third and fourth stages respectively, and are all constant values;
[0060] When applying unit thermal load, a load level is randomly selected and applied to the surface of the i-th grid unit, which can be expressed as:
[0061] Q d,i =(randperm(numel(Q),1)).
[0062] S330, dividing the surface of the liquid cooling plate in the application scenario of continuous non-uniform heat load into N second grid units of equal size from two dimensions, longitudinally or transversely; applying a continuous non-uniformly distributed heat load within a set range to each of the second grid units to obtain a continuous heat load;
[0063] There are four levels for the constant heat load and the continuously non-uniformly distributed heat load, and the heat loads are added to the grid units by randomly selecting heat loads from the corresponding heat load sets.
[0064] refer to Figure 5 In this step, the surface of the cold plate is divided into N equal-sized long strip grid units from the longitudinal or transverse dimensions. The size of each second grid unit is:
[0065]
[0066] In the formula, l H With w H are the length and width of the second grid unit respectively;
[0067] A continuous non-uniformly distributed heat load Q is applied to each second grid element. s,i , non-uniformly distributed heat load Q s,i It is also specified as four levels, expressed as
[0068] Q s,i ∈Q s =[Q s1 ,Q s2 ,Q s3 ,Q s4 ],i=1,2,…,N;
[0069] In the formula, Q s is the set of continuous non-uniform heat load levels, Q s1 , Q s2 , Q s3 With Q s4 Represents the continuous non-uniformly distributed heat loads of the first, second, third and fourth levels, all of which are random value changes within a range, expressed as:
[0070]
[0071] Where f1(x) is any random continuous distribution function, Q s1 and They represent the upper and lower limits of the continuous non-uniformly distributed heat load respectively. The heat loads of the other three levels are expressed in the same way as the first level. cp Indicates the overall length of the liquid cooling plate, l Ω Represents the design domain length of the liquid cooling plate.
[0072] S400, establishing a comprehensive optimization design target of the liquid cooling plate by using the design parameters, the boundary conditions and the heat load distribution;
[0073] In this step, based on the determined multi-inlet / outlet boundary conditions and discrete / continuous thermal loads, a comprehensive flow channel design model is further established that simultaneously considers actual working conditions such as thermal loads, multi-inlet / outlet boundary conditions and gravity direction.
[0074] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, S400 includes:
[0075] S410, determining a design variable using the boundary parameters and the boundary conditions, wherein the design variable is expressed as:
[0076] Find(H,γ);
[0077] Where H is the vector containing the entry / exit boundary position, H = [h in,1 h in,2 ;h out,1 h out,1 ]; γ is a pseudo-density variable representing the topological design;
[0078] S420, establish an initial optimization target, expressed as:
[0079] min f cp =w1T ave +w2Φ;
[0080] In the formula, w1 and w2 are weight factors of the objective function. In order to evenly weigh the impact of the two objectives, in this objective function, w1+w2=1, w1=w2=0.5, T ave and Φ represent the normalized mean surface temperature of the cold plate and the pump work required by the flow channel, respectively, and are expressed as:
[0081]
[0082]
[0083] Where T is the average surface temperature of the cold plate, (∫ Ω TdΩ / ∫ Ω dΩ)|0 is the initial value of temperature uniformity; Qcp is the surface heat load: Q cp =Q d or Q s ;P cp is the flow resistance loss of the cold plate system, ΔT is the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the liquid cold plate, (Q cp P cp / cp f ρ f ΔT)|0 is the initial value of the pump work required by the flow channel;
[0084] In addition to the constraints of the flow and heat transfer control equations, there are also gravity environment constraints considering the actual working scenario, that is, F = mg, and the direction of gravity is specified according to the actual force environment. Therefore, it is necessary to constrain the thermal load.
[0085] S430, determine the constraint functions of discrete and continuous non-uniform heat loads, expressed as
[0086] g d =max(max(T Ω,i )-min(T Ω,i ))≤ΔT du ;
[0087] g s =max(max(T Ω,i )-min(T Ω,i ))≤ΔT su ;
[0088] In the formula, max(T Ω,i ) and min(T Ω,i ) represents the maximum and minimum temperature of the i-th grid cell on the design domain Ω, ΔT du With ΔT su Respectively represent the maximum temperature difference of a given unit grid;
[0089] S440, using the design variables, the initial optimization objectives, and the constraint function to establish a comprehensive optimization design objective of the liquid cooling plate, expressed as:
[0090] find(H,γ)
[0091] min f cp
[0092] stg d -ΔT du ≤0 or g s -ΔT su ≤0
[0093] ρ f ∫ Ω γdΩ-ξm Ω ≤0
[0094] NS Eqs&Γ in &Γ out
[0095] H∈U H &γ∈U γ ;
[0096] Where U H with U γ is the feasible interval of the design variable, ρ f ∫ Ω γdΩ-ξm Ω ≤0 is the material constraint in the flow channel topology design process, ξ is the mass constraint factor, m Ω Overall quality designed for liquid cold plates.
[0097] S500, solving the comprehensive optimization design target to obtain optimal design parameters that comprehensively consider the heat load distribution and the inlet and outlet boundary positions.
[0098] After S500, the method for comprehensive optimization design of flow channels of a free boundary liquid cooling plate with non-uniform heat load further includes:

Inlet temperature T in = [20 20] (unit: °C), define the inlet Reynolds number Re = 600, the outlet pressure P out =[0 0](unit: Pa). The solid phase material of the liquid cooling plate is aluminum 6061-T6, and the liquid phase material is water. The mass constraint factor ξ is 0.5.
