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

How do you calculate the velocity for the momentum source? Is it coming from the ventilator performance, and if yes, what is the formula you use to get 0.3 m/s? Thanks!

very good! Congrat for the webinar! i'm learning a lot in this channel
