CFD is routinely used for data center design and operation. However, while it is comparatively easy to use CFD successfully for design, when input data is only approximate and there are no measured values for comparison, it is much more difficult to successfully utilize CFD for managing ongoing changes in and optimizing the performance of a real data center. The key to success, and the subject of this seminar, is the creation of a calibrated model, accurate by virtue of its fidelity to and ability to model the physics of the real facility rather than by arbitrary tweaks or assumptions.
