Biomimetic and Constructal Design of Alveolus-Inspired Extended Surfaces for Heat Dispersion

Biomimetics is a school of design based on taking inspiration from nature to solve complex problems. This done with the assumption that natural world already has solutions many engineering problems have been refined through trial and error—an example constructal law. In this study, biomimicry used investigate impact shape an extended surface for mixed convection cooling within context cavity problem. simplified two-dimensional case aims develop new heat dispersal ideas use in electronics, power generation, industrial applications. A numerical model developed solved using ANSYS Fluent results were examined varying Reynolds, Rayleigh, Richardson numbers goal maximizing transfer. The show alveolus-inspired fin provides better transfer compared rectangular cavity.
