• Abstract: As modern electronic devices are increasingly miniaturized and integrated, their performance relies more heavily on effective thermal management. Two-phase cooling methods enhanced by porous surfaces, which capitalize on thin-film evaporation atop structured porous surfaces, are emerging as potential solutions. In such porous structures, the optimum heat dissipation capacity relies on two competing objectives that depend on mass and heat transfer. The computational costs of evaluating these objectives, the high dimensionality of the design space which a voxelated microstructure representation, and the manufacturability constraints hinder the optimization process for thermal management. We address these challenges by developing a data-driven framework for designing optimal porous microstructures for cooling applications. In our framework we leverage spectral density functions (SDFs) to encode the design space via a handful of interpretable variables and, in turn, efficiently search it. We develop physics-based formulas to quantify the thermofluidic properties and feasibility of candidate designs via offline simulations. To decrease the reliance on expensive simulations, we generate multi-fidelity data and build emulators to find Pareto-optimal designs. We apply our approach to a canonical problem on evaporator wick design and obtain fin-like topologies in the optimal microstructures which are also characteristics often observed in industrial applications.

  Inverse design, where we seek to design input variables in order to optimize an underlying objective function, is an important problem. We show that by instead optimizing over the learned energy function captured by the diffusion model, we can avoid such adversarial examples. In an N-body interaction task and a challenging 2D multi-airfoil design task, we demonstrate that by composing the learned diffusion model at test time, our method allows us to design initial states and boundary shapes.
