This paper studied the thermal characterization analysis and the optimizatiordesign of section bar heat sinks undergoing the natural and forced convection coolingBased on the analysis of structure and operation condition of heat sinks, Thredimension nuld and temPeratUre fields were calculated with the finite difference methodThe SIMPLC algorithIn was emPloyed tO solve the problems met in calculating the flui'field.The optimum geometries of heat sinks with the minimal thermal resistance wasobtained by means of the complex algorithrn of Box. A software for optimal design o]heat sinks was developed and confirmed by the experimental results from somtsamples.
