HeatSink Optimization Suite
Parametric heatsink generation and pressure-drop analysis.
The problem it solved
Heatsink optimization studies require sweeping many parametric geometries and recomputing Δp — manual CAD/CFD is slow and error-prone. This suite turns the sweep into a database-backed, reproducible workflow that supported a peer-reviewed publication.
Similar problems it can solve
Any parametric engineering-design study (electronic-cooling, HVAC fins, microchannels), CFD-companion tooling that persists candidate geometries to a database, and reproducible-research desktop tools for thermal/fluid simulation.
A multi-project tool suite for thermal-design research: a parametric heatsink generator backed by an EF6 design database, a pressure-drop calculator for dimpled-nub geometries, and a Dimple analysis module. The scientific software behind peer-reviewed work in Thermal Science & Engineering Progress (TSEP) on heatsink optimisation.

Overview
The HeatSink Optimization Suite is the scientific tooling behind peer-reviewed thermal-engineering work in Thermal Science & Engineering Progress (TSEP). It treats heatsink design as a parametric, database-backed problem and provides solvers for the specific geometries the published study explored.
Engineering & science
A Windows desktop suite of three projects: a HeatSinkGenerator (parametric design over an EF6/SQL Server database of fin geometries), a DeltapNub pressure-drop solver for dimpled-nub configurations, and a Dimple module for the dimple variation. Together they let a researcher sweep geometries, compute Δp, and persist designs reproducibly.
Technology
WPF (.NET Framework), Entity Framework 6 with EDMX, SQL Server, and custom Δp / heatsink-geometry solvers.
