In this study, an evolutionary cooling channel, a new methodology for designing a conformal
cooling channel, was proposed. This methodology was devised by imitating the way that a
plant's roots grow towards a nutrient-rich location. Additionally, Murray's law was applied to
increase the cooling efficiency through minimizing the pressure loss of the cooling water
inside the cooling channel. The proposed method was applied to the specimen shape to

In this study, an evolutionary cooling channel, a new methodology for designing a conformal cooling channel, was proposed. This methodology was devised by imitating the way that a plant’s roots grow towards a nutrient-rich location. Additionally, Murray’s law was applied to increase the cooling efficiency through minimizing the pressure loss of the cooling water inside the cooling channel. The proposed method was applied to the specimen shape to verify the concept, and it was confirmed that efficient cooling was achieved by applying it to the headlamp lens cover part of an actual vehicle. When this methodology was applied, the temperature deviation of the part could be improved by about 46% in just third generations, and the pressure loss could be reduced by about 10 times or more compared to the result of applying the straight-line cooling channel.
