The innovation of this project is to create an **alternative design framework for cold plates**. **Cold plates** are common devices allowing components such as battery packs and micro-electrical devices to **operate within tolerance**. They take high importance with the current conversion being seen in the aircraft industry towards electrification and hydrogen due to NetZero Regulation.The project will leverage multi-scale methods that are not present elsewhere. Designs will **improve performance**, in terms of thermal exchange and required pump pressure, over traditional "serpentine" designs being used by the industry.The project is also responding to lessons learned from previous collaborations regarding the challenges of designing topology optimized cold plates. It enables faster iteration which can be leveraged by airframers within their digital-twin framework to automatically re-design cold plates in response to changes elsewhere in the system. Coupling the small-scale response directly to the finite element integration nodes offers a **new and potentially much faster way to simulate fluid flow**.The project is collaborative: TOffeeAM, a SME and spin-out of Imperial College London (ICL) will collaborate with ICL to build the software and the new design.

该项目的创新之处在于为冷板创建了一个 ** 替代设计框架 **。** 冷板 ** 是常见的设备，允许电池组和微电子设备等组件在公差范围内 ** 运行。由于NetZero Regulation，目前飞机工业正在向电气化和氢转换，因此它们非常重要。该项目将利用其他地方没有的多尺度方法。在热交换和所需泵压方面，设计将 ** 提高性能 **，优于行业中使用的传统“蛇形”设计。该项目还响应了从以前的合作中吸取的经验教训，这些合作涉及设计拓扑优化冷板的挑战。它可以实现更快的迭代，飞机制造商可以在他们的数字孪生框架内利用它来自动重新设计冷板，以响应系统中其他地方的变化。将小规模响应直接耦合到有限元积分节点提供了一种 ** 新的且可能更快的方法来模拟流体流动 **。该项目是合作的：TOffeeAM，一家SME和帝国理工学院伦敦（ICL）的分支机构将与ICL合作构建软件和新设计。
