Abstract
An electronic device includes a targeted area within the electronic device. The targeted area includes a first side and a second side that is different from the first side. A first fan lies along the first side. Also, a second fan lies along the second side. The first fan and the second fan are both inlet fans or are both outlet fans. A method of using an electronic device is provided and includes directing a first fluid flow from the first fan along the targeted area. The method includes directing a second fluid flow from the second fan along the targeted area. The direction of the second fluid flow is different than the direction of the first fluid flow. Also, a turbulent fluid flow is created at least partially based on the first fluid flow, the second fluid flow, or a combination thereof.
