In this paper we show the results of numerical simulation and theoretical analysis for two vapor chambers having the same external structure but different internal wick structures. The results show that the vapor chamber with wick bracing pillar has a better thermal performance because wick bracing pillar accelerates fluid circulation and that the numerical simulation can be used for structural optimization and has the guiding significance for improvements in thermal performance of vapor chambers.
Key words： vapor chamber; structural optimization; numerical simulation
