Week 12 - Final Project - Modelling and Analysis of a Datacenter

Introduction: Datacenters are huge structures which house plethora of electrical components such as servers and CPU of super-computers. As these equipments are present it is evident that a lot of heat is produced. To avoid this various systems are used such as fans, Air conditioning systems etc. In this challenge one such datacenter is modelled and a simulation is conducted to analyse the cooling effects inside the center.

Geometry:

Meshing:

As this is a forced convection problem appropriate BC's are given to the CRAC components and heat sources are defined.

Results:

Residual

Object contours:

Speed

Temperature

Conclusion:

Datacenter simulation shows that the temperature is in an appretiable range and wouldnt harm the components. Hence, we can conclude the simulation is successful.
