Smart Data Center Design Workshop

The case we will look at is a traditional, small, open-aisle data center with an underfloor cold air supply. We are interested in finding out:
- The temperature distribution, identifying hot areas
- The flow pattern, ensuring each server rack gets fresh cold air
- Use the results to quantify design change if needed

Agenda
• Modify the 3D model for use with CFD on the SimScale Platform
• Select and set up a new Simulation
• Assign boundary conditions representing the cooling system
• Define the servers as heat sources, momentum sources, and porous objects (representing the fans and pressure difference)
• Add additional results to the simulation to better understand how the design is performing
• Look at the temperature and velocity fields to ensure all servers get cold fresh air for cooling
