The effect of area ratio on the flow distribution in liquid cooling module manifolds for electronic packaging
TLDR
In this paper, the effect of an area ratio, defined as ratio of the total channel cross-sectional area to the dividing flow header crosssectional area, on the coolant distribution in a parallel flow manifold was studied numerically for a Reynolds number of 50, a typical flow condition observed in electronic packaging.About:

Cfd study on flow distribution uniformity in fuel distributors having multiple structural bifurcations of flow channels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the issues of uniform flow distribution for general application in fuel cells, fuel processing chemical reactors, and other industrial devices, and proposed a novel method for uniform flow distributions, in which multiple levels of flow channel bifurcations were considered to uniformly distribute a flow into 2 n flow channels at the final stage.

Experimental and numerical studies of header design and inlet/outlet configurations on flow mal-distribution in parallel micro-channels
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of header shape (rectangular and triangular) on flow mal-distribution and the manufacturing tolerances along the channel length and between the channels was investigated, and the results clearly illustrate that flow separation and recirculation bubbles occurring in the inlet header are primary responsible for the flow mal distribution between channels.

The effect of header shapes on the flow distribution in a manifold for electronic packaging applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of header shapes and the Reynolds number on the flow distribution in a parallel flow manifold to be used in a liquid cooling module for electronic packaging, and they found that the manifold flow distribution greatly depends on the header shape and Reynolds number.

Flow distributions in manifolds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a flow model based on one-dimensional flow equations for a wide variety of combinations of channel dimensions, fluid velocity and physical properties, and pressure drop across the side ports, which are summarized by charts that permit a designer quickly to estimate the nonuniformity in the flow pattern.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite-difference procedure was used to predict the flow distribution in parallel and reverse flow manifold systems by a one-dimensional elliptic formulation, where an iterative numerical scheme solved the differential equations for momentum in the longitudinal direction and continuity.
