Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics/heat transfer (CFD/HT) methods are too time consuming and costly to examine the effect of multiple design variables on the system thermal performance, especially for ...

Abstract: This paper is centered on quantifying the effect of computer room and computer room air conditioning (CRAC) unit modeling on the perforated tile flow distribution in a representative raised-floor ...

Abstract: In the near future, electronic cabinets of data centers will house high performance chips with heat fluxes approaching 100 W/cm2 and associated high volumetric heat generation rates. With the ...

Abstract: Concurrency and exchanging design knowledge among thermal and IT management are required to achieve an energy efficient operational data center. In this paper, a design approach is presented to ...

Abstract: In this paper, an effective and computationally efficient proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) based reduced order modeling approach is presented, which utilizes selected sets of observed thermal ...
