In the article, “Use Computational Fluid Dynamics To See How Changes To Your Data Center Will Affect Cooling”, AFCO CTO John Consoli discusses the merits of CFD modeling:
Because data center conditions can be so complex and variable, data center managers need all the help they can get. Without sufficient visibility, they’re flying blind—and wasting resources.
“Many data center managers have basic information on what power and cooling is being used,” says John Consoli, CTO of AFCO Systems (www.afcosystems.com). “CFD modeling can provide a very detailed picture of what the cooling resources are actually accomplishing.”
Consoli continues, “Many data centers that seem to require additional cooling are often using existing cooling inefficiently—the cooling is being wasted. CFD modeling can show where cooling inefficiencies exist and model improvements in airflow to improve data center cooling.”
