CFD modeling is a powerful tool to simulate and analyze an existing data center or explore the multiple design parameters of a new data center. The challenge is the extreme run time required. Often times this necessitates making choices on what to leave in and what to take out. This session explores several ways to speed up run time for multiple options while preserving accuracy and not sacrificing the physics.The session also takes a look at stanchions and why they should not be excluded in any raised floor model and validated from actual measurements.
