[0002] With the rapid development of miniaturization, integration, and high efficiency in fields such as electronic equipment and aerospace, the power density of equipment has increased dramatically, and the heat flux density has increased significantly. Efficient heat dissipation has become a key technical bottleneck to ensure the stability and service life of equipment. Microchannels, with their advantages of high specific surface area and excellent heat transfer efficiency, have become the core solution to the problem of heat dissipation in high heat flux density. The research and optimization of their heat transfer enhancement technology has become a key direction in the field of power engineering.
[0003] Existing research indicates that different microchannel structures possess corresponding optimal structural parameters. A key challenge in contemporary microchannel design lies in rapidly and accurately determining these optimal design points and their associated parameters. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of complex geometries or turbulent flows require fine mesh generation, with single-case calculations often taking hours or even days. When scaling to hundreds of parameter combinations, this computational demand renders traditional methods impractical on the engineering timeline. As engineering challenges evolve towards multiphysics coupling and multi-objective collaborative optimization, the limitations of traditional CFD methods in terms of efficiency, robustness, and applicability become increasingly apparent. Particularly in high-throughput iterative industrial design scenarios, their excessively high computational costs and slow response rates constitute a critical bottleneck hindering technological innovation.

[0021] In the physical model of the symmetrical sinusoidal wave microchannel with built-in multiple sets of double ribs in this invention, the physical model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the width of the solid computational domain ( W ),high( H ) and length ( LThe thicknesses are 0.4 mm, 0.7 mm, and 10 mm, respectively; the width of the single-layer microchannel ( W c ) and height ( H c All are 0.2 mm; on the bottom surface of the microchannel, 25 sets of composite structures composed of symmetrical sinusoidal sidewall recesses and double ribs are distributed along the central axis of the symmetrical sinusoidal wave microchannel; the sinusoidal wave profile is composed of y =±Asin(2πx λ w ) describes the length of a single rib ( L r ) and width ( W r The thicknesses are 0.08 mm and 0.035 mm, respectively. The material of the microchannel is silicon, and the fluid is pure water as the coolant. The fluid is assumed to be a three-dimensional incompressible Newtonian fluid in a continuous laminar flow state. The effects of gravity, viscous dissipation and radiative heat dissipation are ignored. The solid-liquid interface adopts a no-slip boundary condition. The physical properties of silicon are kept constant, and the physical properties of water are considered constant except for the dynamic viscosity which changes with temperature. The physical properties of silicon and water are shown in Table 1.
[0022] Table 1: Physical properties of silicon and water The dynamic viscosity of water is related to temperature as follows: Based on the above conditions, the mathematical model and boundary conditions of the computational fluid dynamics domain of the symmetrical sinusoidal wave microchannel with multiple built-in double ribs are described as follows: The mathematical model is described by the following equation: Continuity equation: ; Momentum equation: ; Energy equation: ; For the solid domain, the energy equation can be written as: ; It is the Hamiltonian operator, used to describe the spatial rate of change of a physical quantity; U This refers to the fluid velocity vector; ρ This refers to fluid density; UU ) is the velocity tensor; p It refers to the pressure gradient, which describes the spatial distribution and variation of pressure; μThis refers to the dynamic viscosity of the fluid; c p It is the specific heat capacity at constant pressure of the fluid; T f This refers to the fluid temperature; λ f λ is the thermal conductivity of the fluid; s It is the thermal conductivity of silicon; In this invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the symmetrical sinusoidal wave microchannel is modeled using a silicon material. During simulation, the boundary conditions at the microchannel inlet are uniform velocity and uniform temperature. An outlet section is provided at the microchannel outlet to prevent backflow, and the outlet pressure ( P out The pressure (Pa) is set to 0 Pa (relative to atmospheric pressure). A constant and uniform heat flux is applied as a heat source to the bottom surface of the solid. q =1000 kW / m 2 On both sides of the solid domain, translational periodic boundary conditions are used to simulate the microchannel group. The contact surface between the fluid and solid domains is set as a thermally coupled interface, while the remaining walls are set as adiabatic boundary conditions. All walls use no-slip boundary conditions, and the coupling between the boundary conditions and the equations is shown in Table 2. Commercial computational fluid dynamics software is used to solve the governing equations, where a high-resolution scheme is used for spatial discretization, the computational accuracy is set to double precision, and the convergence residuals of all equations are set to 10. -5 .
[0023] Table 2: Detailed boundary conditions for solid and fluid domains Meanwhile, the Nusel number Nu Average coefficient of friction f They are shown below: ; ; in A w It is the heating wall area of the solid domain of the channel; It is the heat flux density on the heated wall surface; , and These are the inlet temperature, outlet temperature, and heated wall surface temperature, respectively. D h It is the hydraulic diameter of the fluid at the inlet of the microchannel; It is the average thermal conductivity of the fluid domain; It is the area of convective heat transfer between the solid domain and the fluid domain; It is the pressure drop between the inlet and outlet of the microchannel.
[0024] Enhanced convective heat transfer in microchannels is often accompanied by increased frictional losses; therefore, a performance evaluation criterion is introduced. PEC The overall performance of microchannels is evaluated using the following criteria. The performance evaluation standard PEC is determined by the following: ; Nu 0 refers to the Nusselt number of a smooth, straight microchannel; f 0 refers to the coefficient of friction of a smooth, straight microchannel.
[0025] In this invention, based on determining the value range of three design parameters and clarifying the boundary conditions, Latin hypercube sampling is used to generate 56 sets of input datasets within the variable study range. CFD numerical simulation calculations are then performed to obtain the corresponding Selby numbers. Nu Average coefficient of friction f As the output dataset, these datasets are randomly divided into training, test, and validation sets, with 70% used as the training set, 15% as the test set, and 15% as the validation set. The design parameters are validated using grey relational analysis. D, S, H r )and Nu , f The correlation.
[0026] In this invention, design parameters ( D, S, H r )and Nu , f Correlation such as Figure 3 As shown, a grey relational degree higher than 0.7 is considered a high correlation; a grey relational degree lower than 0.3 is considered a weak correlation. For Nu In other words, it can be seen that D , S and H r The grey relational strength of these three variables is above 0.7, which means that these three variables have a significant impact on the grey relational relationship between the three variables and the grey relational relationship between the three variables. Nu The effects of these variables are all very significant. S The impact was most significant, followed by D , again H r .for f In other words, it can be seen that D and S The grey relational degree is above 0.7, indicating that these two variables have a high correlation with each other. f It has a strong influence. Compared to the two variables mentioned above, H rAlthough not a major influencing factor, its grey relational degree of 0.6768 still indicates that it can be considered a significant factor. f This has a significant impact. Therefore, predictions are based on these three design variables. Nu and f That's reasonable.
[0027] In this invention, the genetic algorithm-optimized backpropagation neural network (GA-BP) prediction model comprises an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The number of neurons, activation functions, and training parameters for each layer are set. In this embodiment, a single-layer hidden layer is used, and the input layer has three neurons with the Purelin activation function. The number of hidden layers is adjusted... Figure 5 shown MSE Error analysis was performed, with the optimal number of neurons being 11 and the Tansig activation function used; the output layer had 2 neurons. GA-BP first optimized the initial weights and thresholds using a genetic algorithm. The initial population size was set to 100, the maximum number of generations to 50, the crossover rate to 0.8, and the mutation rate to 0.1. The Levenverg-Marquardt method was chosen as the training method. The Levenverg-Marquardt method is an optimization algorithm for solving nonlinear least squares problems, combining the advantages of gradient descent and Gauss-Newton methods: by introducing a damping factor to adjust the algorithm's characteristics, when the error between the predicted and actual values is large, the damping factor increases, and the algorithm favors gradient descent to ensure computational stability; when the error is small, the damping factor decreases, and the algorithm favors the faster-converging Gauss-Newton method, thus simultaneously ensuring both training speed and accuracy. The maximum number of iterations was set to 1000, the learning rate to 0.01, and the minimum training error to 0.001. After successfully training the neural network, the output was predicted using the following formula: In the predicted output equation, I i yes i th Input layer neurons, w ij Indicates will i th Input layer neurons are connected to j th The weights of neurons in the hidden layer, w jk This indicates that j th Hidden layer neurons connect to k th The weights of the output neurons. b j yes j thThreshold of hidden layer neurons b k yes k th Threshold of neurons in the hidden layer. f 1, f 2 are the Tansig function and the Purelin function, respectively.
[0028] In this invention, the training results of the GA-BP neural network are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, (a) is a schematic diagram of the fit between the training results and the training set; (b) is a schematic diagram of the fit between the training results and the validation set; (c) is a schematic diagram of the fit between the training results and the validation set; and (d) is a schematic diagram of the fit between the training results and all experimental data. Figure 6 The less the data in (a), (b), (c), and (d) deviates from the predicted line, the better the training result of the GA-BP neural network. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination was calculated based on the actual and predicted values. R 2 This provides a more objective description of the predictive performance of neural networks. R² The core significance is to measure the degree of agreement between the predicted values of the prediction model and the actual values. The value ranges from 0 to 1, and it intuitively reflects the model's ability to explain data patterns. R The closer ² is to 1, the higher the proportion of actual data variation that the model can explain, and the stronger the prediction accuracy. R The closer² is to 0, the worse the model's predictive performance, and the less likely it is to reflect the true patterns in the data. Training results for the neural network show that the GA-BP model performs well on the training, validation, and test sets. R The values were 0.99557, 0.99117, and 0.99374 respectively, totaling... R The value is 0.99447, meaning the model can accurately capture the rib spacing. D Rib offset S rib height H r With Nusel Nu coefficient of friction f The nonlinear relationship between the two data points means that over 99% of the actual data variation can be explained by the model, and the predicted values are almost identical to the actual values simulated by CFD. This metric directly verifies the reliability of the GA-BP model.
[0029] In this invention, the population size, crossover rate, mutation rate, and maximum number of iterations are set for the multi-objective optimization algorithm. NSGA-II is used to perform multi-objective optimization on the prediction model to obtain the Pareto optimal solution set. Based on this solution set, design points corresponding to different optimization objectives are selected to determine the optimal combination of design parameters. The initial population size is 100, the crossover rate is 0.8, the mutation rate is 0.1, and the maximum number of iterations is 100. After 100 iterations, the objective function is as follows, and the optimal Pareto solution set is obtained. Figure 7 As shown.

Nu "and minimizing the coefficient of friction" f "Between these two conflicting objectives, an unimprovable equilibrium is reached—that is, the performance of one objective cannot be improved without sacrificing the performance of the other. Each point corresponds to a set of optimal design parameter combinations (rib spacing)."

Nu Value (minimize 1 / Nu If so, then first select endpoint A (MC- Nu max If only considering f Value (Minimize) f If so, then first select endpoint B (MC- f min Point C (MC-) PEC max This represents a compromise between the two. Furthermore, simulations were conducted to verify the optimized structure, and the flow field was compared and analyzed with two benchmark models: the Smooth Straight Microchannel (SMC) and the Wave Microchannel (WMC). Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment includes SMC, WMC, and MC- Nu max MC- f min and MC- PECmax Nusel number Nu Friction resistance coefficient f and comprehensive performance evaluation PEC The comparison chart shows that the optimized MC-maximized Nusselt number model... Nu max of Nu Its value is 3.60 times that of SMC; the best overall performance model is MC- PEC max of Nu The value is MC- Nu max 88.7%, while f The value is only 51.6%. PEC The value reached 1.77. This indicates that the optimized MC- PEC max The model not only improves heat transfer efficiency but also achieves a balance between flow field characteristics and flow resistance, thereby verifying the reliability and effectiveness of the multi-objective optimization method of this invention.
