 abstract={Heat transfer and aerodynamic drag of novel small-sized heat sinks with lamellar fins, designed for electronic cooling, were experimentally investigated under conditions of forced convection in the range of Reynolds numbers 1 250–10 500. It was found that a gradual reduction in the fin spacing from 6 mm to 3 mm with a 29° angle of taper between the outermost fins leads to an increase in the heat transfer intensity by 15–32% with a significant increase in aerodynamic drag compared to the surface with a constant fin spacing of 6 mm. Incomplete cross-section cutting of fins at the relative depth of 0.6 in addition to the gradual reduction in the fin spacing provides aerodynamic drag decrease by 5–20% and increase of heat transfer intensity by 18–20% in comparison with the similar heat sink without fins cutting. Proposed novel designs of heat sinks enabled us to decrease by 7°С–16°С the maximum overheating of the heat sink's base in the flow speed range from 2.5 m/s to 7.5 m/s at constant heat load. To ensure a constant value of maximum overheating of the heat sink base the inlet flow velocity for the surface with constant fin spacing should be 1.6–2 times higher than that for the heat sink with 29° taper angle between outermost fins and partially fins cutting. In this case, the aerodynamic drag for the latter will be higher only by 1.6–2.7 times, which is quite acceptable.},
