CFD sample studies

All contour images are our own ANSYS Fluent results, post-processed in Python. Sample studies contain no client data.

Sample study (fictional)

Data-hall airflow: open vs. contained cold aisle

Two rows, 20 racks (159 kW), raised-floor supply into the cold aisle at 90% of rack airflow.

33.0 °Copen aisle: max. rack inlet
28.9 °Ccontained aisle: max. rack inlet
109 khex cells
0.015%energy balance error
Open cold aisle: cold air rising from tiles, hot exhaust wrapping over the racks
Open aisle: hot exhaust wraps over the rack tops into the cold aisle and heats the upper fronts of row B
Section across the open cold aisle
Section across the cold aisle: upper inlets above the ASHRAE 27 °C recommended limit
Contained cold aisle airflow
Contained aisle (0.15 m leakage gaps at both roof ends): middle racks see near-supply air
Section across the contained cold aisle
The 28.9 °C peak sits at the row-end racks next to the gaps

Liquid cold plate: conjugate heat transfer

Copper plate with a 5-pass serpentine channel, 40 × 40 mm chip at 600 W, water 30 °C at 0.6 L/min. Water and copper solved together (CHT).

68.6 °Cmax. chip-face temperature
14.4 Kwater temperature rise
4.4 kPaplate pressure drop
< 0.001%heat balance error
Transparent copper cold plate with streamlines coloured by temperature
Copper shown transparent; streamlines warm pass by pass
Chip-side base temperature and channel mid-plane temperature
Left: base temperature on the chip side. Right: channel mid-plane

Dry-cooler cluster recirculation

Four 1000 kW V-type dry coolers side by side, 35 °C ambient: calm vs. 3 m/s cross-wind.

0.14 Kcalm: max. intake rise
0.96 Kcross-wind: worst unit
41.0 °Ccross-wind: local max. intake
< 0.001%energy balance error
Cross-wind plume iso-surfaces pushed onto the downstream units
Cross-wind plume (iso-surfaces 38 / 41.5 °C): the plume is pushed onto the downstream units
