Abstract
An apparatus to cool a computing device is provided and includes a structure. The structure includes a coolant moving device and a heat generating component. The structure is formed such that the coolant moving device is configured to generate a first flow of coolant into a plenum in a first direction and a second flow of coolant from the plenum in a second direction, which is transverse to the first direction, such that the coolant thermally interacts with the heat generating component. The structure further includes a plate interposed between the plenum and the heat generating component. The plate includes aerodynamic elements disposed to extend into the plenum.
