For data centers, CFD can be used to model data halls and understand airflow and heat transfer as it pertains to cooling critical equipment — essentially aiding in design validation, troubleshooting, and retro-commissioning efforts.

Data centers are expected to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and availability is measured in the highest of percentages.

Ambient air is the primary heat rejection medium for the condenser coils of air-cooled chillers and dry coolers.

In which CFD modeling lets us compare two possible design configurations for ventilation in a hospital patient room, yielding some similarities and perhaps surprising differences in what each configuration means for pathogen control and occupant comfort.
