Physical reliability and cooling capability are the main concern in the development of FPCB electronics. Therefore, present study investigates the reliability and cooling performance of FPCB, for different air inlet/outlet arrangements, in fan sucking mode. These inlet/outlet arrangements are found to have prominent effect on the performance of FPCB. The FSI (fluid-structure interaction) study is performed using the fluid flow solver FLUENT and structural solver ABAQUS at real-time online coupled by Mesh-based Parallel Code Coupling Interface (MpCCI). In addition, the present study also explores the effect of mass flow rates on the performance of FPCB. As the flow rate increases, the cooling capability is enhanced, but deterioration is observed on the reliability}, number={1}
