Topology optimization of a pseudo 3D thermofluid heat sink model (2018, methodology): “A constant heat transfer coefficient is assumed in [11, 12, 14] whereas [13] and [15] use a surrogate model for the heat transfer coefficient to capture the dependence of the local convective heat transfer on the geometry of the optimized structure to some degree.”
