Enhanced Wickability of Thin Non-Uniform Sintered Particle Wicks Using Lattice Boltzmann Method

Abstract: Thin non-uniform particle size wicks are essential to improve the maximum heat flux of two-phase thermal management systems by improving the wickability. To understand the enhanced wickability, we examine a pore-scale capillary flow within the thin sintered particle wick using a free-energy-based, single-component, two-phase Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) with a minimal parasitic current. The developed LBM approach is validated through the rate-of-rise in the two-parallel plates with parallel plates spacing of… Show more
