DSTECH developed a CFD model: dataCenterDST©
A CFD model was developed based on OpenFoam libraries for the thermal simulations of air and liquid-cooled data centers.
- Thermal efficiency of a data center can be evaluated with respect to metrics.
- Numerical model can be reliably used for the efficiency assessment of data centers.
- Fan speeds can be adjusted in the numerical model.
- Pressure drop through the server can be calculated accurately.
- Efficiency metrics are calculated for the thermal assessment of a data center.
Modeling pressure drops at servers
A compact model was developed for the prediction of pressure drop through an OCP server.
- Turbulent flow through an OCP server was fully resolved.
- A fast and accurate approach was proposed for the prediction of pressure drop.
- The proposed model can be used at data center applications
Compact server model for liquid-cooled OCP servers
A compact server model was developed for thermal modeling of liquid-cooled OCP servers.
- A Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) thermal model was developed for the thermal simulation of cold plate.
- Simulation results reveal that the proposed compact model can be used reliably for the thermal simulation of a hybrid-cooled data center.
