Safeguard your Data Center with CFD Simulation

As power and heat loads continue to rise in data centers, efficient cooling is becoming increasingly challenging, with cooling responsible for up to 40% of a data center’s total energy consumption. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software creates a 3D model or digital twin of the data center, providing a detailed understanding of the complex interactions between airflow, heat removal, and cooling systems, enabling operators to make informed decisions to reduce energy consumption and improve overall cooling efficiency.
