Advancesin additive manufacturing technology have expanded the development prospect of structures with complex configurations. Cellular structures have been a hot research topic in recent years for their superior performance and characteristics, such as being lightweight and having high specific strength and good permeability. With a high specific surface area, cellular structures perform noticeably well in heat transfer applications when subjected to a body heat source. In this paper, a scale-separated multiscale design of theVoronoi graded stochastic cellular structure (Voronoi-GSCS) that considers the heat transfer problem is proposed. The design method is composed of three steps: the offline calculation on the microscale, the online optimization on the macroscale, and geometry reconstruction on the full scale. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and superiority of the developed method for designing the Voronoi-GSCS. The results obtained by the solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP) approach are used for comparison. The size effect analysis was conducted to research the influence of the size of the microstructure on the Voronoi-GSCS. It should be stressed that the smallest struts were larger than the minimum print size of the additive manufacturing so that the Voronoi-GSCS could be conveniently exploited in heat transfer applications.
