The heatsink comprises an ultrasonic transducer 6 for propagating acoustic waves through a coolant. Vortices and a fluid flow are generated in the coolant by the acoustic waves to transfer heat from the surface 10 to be cooled. The acoustic wave generator may be positioned to propagate a standing wave between it and the hot surface. The position, intensity, shape and size of the vortices may be controlled by a horn or an open cylinder 12 mounted on the acoustic transducer. |
