Abstract
A device having features for enhancing the cooling of an electronic package subject to laminar air flow. The features include a bluff body, located adjacent the electronic package and within the laminar air flow, for creating turbulence in the air flow to enhance the cooling of the package. The turbulence creates a greater cooling effect of the air flow on the electronic package, and the bluff body can include a rod or other structure mounted adjacent the electronic package. The bluff body can also be mounted on the electronic package or on a heat sink mounted on top of the package.
