Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of micro-channel system structure optimization design, and particularly relates to a viscoelastic fluid heat flow coupling topology optimization method for micro-channel system design. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic information technology, electronic components (such as CPU, GPU, and laser diode) are developing towards higher power density and smaller size. The heat flux density continues to rise, and the heat dissipation problem has become a key bottleneck restricting the performance, reliability and service life. Traditional air cooling, heat pipe, and vapor chamber heat dissipation methods gradually reach the performance limit in high heat flux density scenarios. Micro-channel systems, with their compact structure and high heat exchange capacity, have become a promising solution to solve the heat dissipation problem of the next generation of high-power electronic devices. However, Newtonian fluid heat dissipation working fluids, such as water, are limited by the scale effect of micro-channels and are in laminar flow in micro-channels. The internal layers of the fluid only rely on heat conduction to transfer heat, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency of the micro-channel system. How to enhance the heat exchange capacity of the micro-channel system has become a difficult problem.

[0003] In micro-channels, due to the compression and stretching of high molecular polymers in non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluids, viscoelastic fluids will produce elastic instability turbulence at low Reynolds numbers. This elastic turbulence will cause the mixing of internal layers of the fluid, providing great potential for improving heat exchange capacity. Compared with Newtonian fluids, the local heat transfer efficiency of viscoelastic fluids in elastic turbulent flow state can be improved by three times at the same Reynolds number.

[0004] Topology optimization methods establish mathematical models for heat flow coupling problems. Through the establishment of iterative formulas of optimal criteria conditions, the mathematical problems are solved by finite element method or finite volume method to obtain the optimal material layout. Topology optimization methods have been widely used in micro-channel system design. For example, the patent application entitled "Heat sink structure design method combining topology optimization and shape optimization" (publication number CN112966420A) is applied in micro-channel system design with Newtonian fluid as working fluid. However, there is still a lack of heat flow coupling topology optimization methods for viscoelastic fluid micro-channel system design.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need for a design method that can perform viscoelastic fluid micro-channel system topology optimization design. Topology optimization has high design freedom. The combination of viscoelastic fluid and micro-channel system topology optimization design can provide a new and effective solution for the optimization design of micro-channel system structure.

Based on the relationship between the design variables, objective function, and constraint functions, the sensitivities of the objective function and constraint functions to the design variables are defined. The objective function, constraint functions, and their sensitivities are then fed into the moving asymptote optimizer to achieve optimization convergence and iterative updates of the design variables. When the number of iterations reaches the maximum number of iterations N... max When the objective function changes below the set maximum permissible error ε0, the optimization terminates and the optimized design results are output.

[0080] 3) Construct the mathematical description model of viscoelastic fluid heat flow coupling topology optimization:

[0081] 3.1) Establish the control equation of heat flow coupling viscoelastic fluid: for incompressible viscoelastic fluid flow, the control equation is defined as:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, u, ρ, t, p, η s , τ, T, k, c, Q are velocity, density, time, pressure, solvent viscosity, elastic stress, temperature, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, heat source; F is the volume force, which represents the resistance of the porous medium to the fluid;

[0084] The elastic stress τ needs to be expressed according to the properties of the viscoelastic fluid by selecting the corresponding constitutive equation, when the Oldroyd-B model is adopted, the elastic stress τ satisfies:

[0085]

[0086] Where η p is the solute viscosity, The inverse differential of the stress tensor Oldroyd type is expressed as:

[0087]

[0088] The constitutive equation of Oldroyd-B model is:

[0089]

[0090] Where C is the deformation rate tensor of polymer molecules, I is the unit tensor, and λ is the relaxation time of viscoelastic fluid.

[0091] To solve the problem of high-dimensional Seiberg number, the logarithmic tensor reconstruction method is used to solve the constitutive equation. The natural logarithm Θ of the deformation rate tensor is defined as:

[0092] Θ = ln(C) = R ln(Λ)R T

[0093] Where R is the matrix composed of the characteristic vectors of C, and Λ is the diagonal matrix composed of the characteristic values of C.

[0102]

[0103] Step 3.1) In the viscoelastic thermal flow coupling topology optimization problem, the logarithmic tensor reconstruction method is introduced to solve the elastic stress, which effectively suppresses the numerical divergence under high-dimensional Seiberg number, improves the numerical stability in the viscoelastic fluid calculation and topology optimization process, and ensures that the optimization target has a solution;

[0111] The Darcy number Da needs to be a very small number to ensure that α max is large enough; the Reynolds number Re of this embodiment is 15, and the Darcy number Da is 1e-8, so that the resistance of the porous medium to the fluid is large enough; the initial value of the optimization variable pseudo-density θ0 is 1; the penalty factor q is 0.01;

[0112] The momentum equation is rewritten as:

[0113]

[0114] In the formula, u, ρ, t, p, η s , η p , λ are velocity, density, time, pressure, solvent viscosity, solute viscosity, and viscoelastic fluid relaxation time; C is the deformation rate tensor of the polymer molecule;

[0116] 3.3) Filtering and projection: In the topology optimization problem, in order to avoid grid dependence and checkerboard phenomenon, it is necessary to add density filtering, and in the flow-thermal coupled topology optimization problem, density filtering can effectively avoid the ill-posedness of the optimization problem; using Helmholtz filter for density filtering, the density filtering expression is:

[0117]

[0118] In the formula, r is the filtering radius, which needs to be greater than the grid edge size, which is automatically controlled by the program, θ c is the original control variable after optimization program correction, θ f is the variable after filtering; after Helmholtz filtering, the design domain will produce obvious gray scale, which is not conducive to obtaining clear boundary, through the hyperbolic tangent projection function, clear microchannel topology morphology is obtained, and the projection expression is as follows:

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, θ is the design variable after projection, θ β is the projection point, θ β is 0.5, and β is the projection slope, which is 6;

[0121] Step 3.3) In the viscoelastic thermal flow coupled topology optimization problem, Helmholtz filter and hyperbolic tangent projection function are introduced, which effectively avoids the appearance of grid dependence and checkerboard phenomenon in variable density method topology optimization, and clear microchannel topology optimization morphology is obtained;

[0130] 5) Verification of the topological optimization design results of the viscoelastic fluid system: using OpenFOAM, the microchannel system obtained by the topological optimization design of the viscoelastic fluid heat flow coupling is scaled according to the same Reynolds number Re and the flow conditions of the Visenbeerg number Wi, and the corresponding boundary conditions are set for simulation analysis to verify the flow performance and heat dissipation performance; the simulation results are as shown in Figure 4 ; the results show that when the inlet velocity is set as 1 m / s and the heat source is set as Q = 1 × 10 6 W / m 2 , the maximum temperature of the microchannel system is 293.96 K, which is only less than 1 K higher than the room temperature of 293 K, indicating that the design results have good heat dissipation performance.
