Abstract
One of the greatest challenges that the scientific community is addressing in this century is to provide clean and abundant energy to satisfy the increasing worldwide demand. Many solutions are already existing or currently under development and some of them require to deal with very high temperatures and high heat loads. As an example, heat fluxes are expected to reach values up to 20 M W/m2 on some components of nuclear fusion plants. Thus, it is necessary to design very efficient heat sinks in order to respect the thermo-mechanical limitations of the structural materials. Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) are three-dimensional surfaces, that can be mathematically described by sinusoidal and cosinusoidal functions.
From these surfaces it is possible to generate periodic lattices that, among other applications, can be used to equip channels for heat dissipation
