Flow Modeling Solutions for Data Centers
 |
Thermal cooling of high-density data centers is a challenging yet mission critical task. Shortcomings in a design can compromise the reliability of the facility, increase operational costs, and shorten the life span of electronic equipment. Fluent offers a custom software solution specifically for data centers which enables engineers and facilities managers to investigate airflows and temperatures throughout a data center. With Fluent's flow modeling solutions, you can visualize the complex airflow and thermal performance of your data center in order to design and optimize:
- Plenum airflow patterns
- Room airflow patterns
- Rack inlet temperatures
- Static pressure distribution
- Tile airflow distribution
- Short-circuiting airflow or recirculation from rack outlets to rack inlets
- Effects of equipment and layout changes
- Effects of various failure scenarios
- Effects of floor tile layout and design
