“…The best result of these studies is that the installation of a rectangular plate above the heat sources has considerable enhancement of the heat removal rate from the electronics components. Bensouici and Bessaïh [21] studied mixed convection air-cooling of two identical heat sources mounted in a vertical channel with a porous matrix. They investigated the effects of the Richardson number, Darcy number, thermal conductivity, and thickness of the porous matrix on the flow and heat transfer.…”

Numerical investigation of the hydrodynamic amplification and thermal instabilities by imposing pulsation during forced convection of air cooling of nine identical heated blocks mounted on a horizontal channel is presented. The finite volume method has been used to solve the governing equations. The feature of this work is a narrowband of frequencies, where the enhancement of heat transfer of all electronic components is in the range of 25%-55% compared with steady nonpulsation flow is obtained. Good agreement between numerical simulations and experimental results available from the literature is obtained.
