Thermofluid and conjugate heat transfer design
Cold plates, heat exchangers, battery packs, power electronics and turbine cooling passages designed by the flow itself. XLAB Innovations resolves conjugate heat transfer and generates internal geometry that trades temperature against pressure drop exactly where you need it.

Capabilities
Everything the study needs, inside one solver loop
01
Generative flow channels
Branching internal passages grown from the thermal field rather than templated pin-fin arrays.
02
Conjugate heat transfer
Solid and fluid domains solved together with contact resistance and anisotropic conductivity.
03
Multi-objective trade-off
Pareto fronts across ΔT, Δp, mass and volume so the design decision is explicit, not implied.
04
Transient duty cycles
Fast-charge, drive-cycle and mission-profile transients with thermal mass and phase change.
05
Manufacturing constraints
Minimum channel diameter, powder-removal paths, brazing access and draw direction enforced.
06
Test correlation
Calibrate models against thermocouple and flow-bench data, then reuse the correlation on new designs.
Workflow
01
Set the thermal budget
Heat loads, coolant properties, inlet conditions and allowable peak temperatures.
02
Bound the volume
Available packaging envelope, port locations and structural keep-outs.
03
Optimise the flow
Adjoint-driven channel generation with simultaneous thermal and hydraulic objectives.
04
Verify & hand off
Full-fidelity CHT verification, then export the solid with the run record attached.
Put physics in the loop, not at the end of it.
