This paper presents the forced convective heat transfer performances of novel airfoil heat sinks produced by Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Heat sinks with staggered arrays of NACA 0024 and NACA 4424 airfoil shaped fins were investigated experimentally and the results were compared with conventional...
