The present study proposed a novel cannelure fin structure applicable to compact air-cooled heat sink under cross flow condition. A total of eight heat sinks were made and tested, including plain fin, oblique dimple type (I), oblique dimple type (II), straight cannelure, full oblique cannelure, half oblique cannelure with dimple/cavity type, half oblique cannelure with dimple/cavity type (II), and full oblique cannelure with dimple/cavity. Test results indicate that the proposed full cannelure fin along with the dimple/cavity structure can attain approximately 25% increase of heat transfer performance, and accompanies a friction reduction of about 20%. Moreover, converse to those interrupted fin or triangular vortex generator, it is found that the proposed fin structure still offers significant augmentation in fully developed region. The observed IR image of the temperature measurement of the test fin configurations also confirms the measurements. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
