We apologize for the audio problems in todays webinar, “Tips and Techniques for Best Use of CFD for Heat Sinks and Systems Modeling.” They were completely unexpected.
We will reschedule this webinar shortly. If you are a current subscriber to qats.com then you’ll receive our invitation via email. If you are not a subscriber, it’s simple to join just click to our link here, become a new subscriber, and you’ll be on our list to get an invitation. We’ll also be putting up the re-schecule to our blog here, and to our twitter stream @qats and to our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/heatsinks and finally to the Linked-In Thermal Management forum.

Just a reminder to followers of our electronics cooling blog that we’ll be having a free webinar on Thursday, June 23, 2PM EST on the “Tips, Tricks and Techniques for the Best Use of CFD for Heat Sink and System Modeling”.
Our CFD webinar this month is sponsored by Future Facilities. Passionate about data center simulation Future Facilities is a privately-owned company formed in 2004 with a simple mission: to ensure every datacenter can be a model datacenter. One where risk is mitigated and energy efficiency maximized while both capital and operational costs are reduced to the absolute minimum.
Future Facilities’ senior team boasts several acknowledged experts in the design and application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software for the datacenter industry. And in June 2006, after two and a half years of painstaking R&D, they have launched 6SigmaDC a suite of integrated software products that tackles head-on the challenges of datacenter lifecycle engineering through the Virtual Facility (VF).
Future Facilities has offices based in the heart of London, just a stone throw from the Houses of Parliament. They also have offices in San Jose,United States, and Tokyo, Japan.
See this video for a preview of what we’ll cover in our CFD webinar as well as some best practices we use at ATS:

We hold at least one webinar a month here at ATS. They are always chock full of solid thermal engineering information. And by that I don’t mean just some fancy slides with examples. No. We talk about the basic calculations involved in the science (some would call “black art”) of thermal management. We talk about how to “do” thermal management.
And it’s not always about “a bigger fan”.
And one of the most helpful tools we have in our arsenal is Computational Fluid Dynamics, or CFD for short. We do alot of CFD. Its not the only analysis we do, but, it forms an important part of our design cycle and it should yours as well. Whether you are developing a thermal management solution centered around a heat sink, heat pipe, air flow, what have you, CFD can be a helpful part of the cycle. As our founder and CEO, Kaveh Azar, once noted:
“When you use CFD properly, you have an upper hand on achieving thermal management solutions faster, cheaper and more effectively,” says Dr. Azar. You spend less time on trial and error in the lab, assembling and testing prototypes and sample parts. The more you know about CFD programs, the better you can simulate the important elements and avoid wasting time and memory where it’s not needed.
I’d like to invite you to our next webinar, being held June 23rd, 2PM EST, entitled, “Tips and Techniques for Best Use of CFD for Heat Sinks and Systems Modeling” We’ll be covering some great stuff in this webinar around how we use CFD in our thermal engineering and how you can apply it to your work as well.

To get a quick overview of our CFD webinar, as well as hearing some of what we consider best practice for using CFD, watch this 2 minute screencast:
We’ve seen a lot of search activity here at ATS’s Electronics Cooling blog for “best heat sink material”. As our reader’s have seen, we have quite a bit of excellent material on that topic and we have a webinar in our archives you might like as well.
Heat Sink Materials: Choices and Tradeoffs is a presentation on heat sink materials, particularly advanced ones, that our readers should listen to as well. It’s an informative presentation given by a colleague of Dr. Kaveh Azar’s, Dr. Carl Zweben. You’ll be very glad you listened.
Best of all, the cost is free, and part of ATS’s continued drive to support the thermal engineering community.
But, if our information is not quite enough to help you, contact us and let’s see how ATS thermal engineers can make your next project a success! Email us at [email protected] , call us at 781-769-2800 or visit our Design Services
Don’t miss ATS’s latest webinar, on Thursday March 24th, Heat Sink Materials, Choices and Tradeoffs. It’s free, and is led by Dr. Carl Zweben, a leading authority in advanced materials for electronics cooling.
But there are many new materials now on the market and, as companies are working hard to stay away from liquid cooling, the cost and performance of advanced materials is being seen as a truly viable approach. So join ATS at our webinar, as led by Dr. Carl Zweben, on Thursday, March 24th, “Heat Sink Materials, Choices and Tradeoffs“.
