Parameterization of Layered Materials for Surface Temperature Control

- Parametric modelling of layer-configuration and heat sink-controlled surface temperatures of layered materials is examined. This modelling is in terms of numerical-analytical basis functions and equivalent source distributions, which provide parametric representation of temperature fields within and on surfaces of layered material systems. This modelling technique can be utilized for the design and optimization of surface temperatures. Results of prototype simulations are presented that demonstrate control of temperatures on surfaces bounding layered materials, using embedded heat sinks and different types of layer configurations.
