Abstract
The significant increase in the heat dissipation associated with the increased throughput in computing, renewable energy, and electric vehicles has
become a limitation to the evolution of these technologies. The needs for more effective thermal-management methods for higher heat fluxes and more
uniform temperature have resulted in the development of mechanically driven oscillating flow cooling systems. The objective of this paper is to review
the state-of-the-art of mechanically driven oscillating flow loops (MDOFLs) in terms of several aspects such as heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and
thermodynamic principles. In each aspect, essential formulas and related sciences from prior studies are presented to show what has been accomplished
in the field. Important parameters on the performance of the cooling systems and challenges for future research are also provided.
