Because of the\u0000flexibility and availability of proven fabrication techniques, vascular-based thermal\u0000regulation is attractive for thin microvascular systems. Although preliminary designs\u0000and experiments demonstrate the feasibility of thermal modulation by pushing fluid\u0000through embedded micro-vasculatures, one has yet to optimize the performance before translating the concept into real-world applications. It will be beneficial to know\u0000how two vital design variables—host material’s thermal conductivity and fluid’s heat\u0000capacity rate—affect a thermal regulation system’s performance, quantified in terms of\u0000the mean surface temperature. This paper fills the remarked inadequacy by performing adjoint-based sensitivity analysis and unravels a surprising non-monotonic trend.\u0000Increasing thermal conductivity can either increase or decrease the mean surface temperature; the increase happens if countercurrent heat exchange—transfer of heat from\u0000one segment of the vasculature to another—is significant. In contrast, increasing the\u0000heat capacity rate will invariably lower the mean surface temperature, for which we\u0000provide mathematical proof. The reported results (a) dispose of some misunderstandings in the literature, especially on the effect of the host material’s thermal conductivity, (b) reveal the role of countercurrent heat exchange in altering the effects of design\u0000variables, and (c) guide designers to realize efficient microvascular active-cooling systems. The analysis and findings will advance the field of thermal regulation both on\u0000theoretical and practical fronts.","PeriodicalId":50661,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Computational Physics","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140171345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to deal with the degeneracy,\u0000we introduce an intermediate point to divide the whole domain into singular subdomain and regular subdomain. Then Puiseux series asymptotic technique is used\u0000in singular subdomain and augmented finite volume scheme is used in regular subdomain. The keys of the method are the recovery of Puiseux series in singular subdomain\u0000and the appropriate combination of singular and regular subdomain by means of augmented variables associated with the singularity. Although the effect of singularity on\u0000the calculation domain is conquered by the Puiseux series reconstruction technique,\u0000it also brings difficulties to the theoretical analysis. Based on the idea of staggered\u0000grid, we overcome the difficulties arising from the augmented variables related to singularity for the construction of conservation scheme. The discrete energy conservation and convergence of the two energy-preserving methods are demonstrated successfully. The advantages of the proposed methods are the energy conservation and\u0000the global convergence order determined by the regular subdomain scheme.
