Unique Airflow Visualization Techniques for the Design and Validation of Above-Plenum Data Center CFD Models

One cause for the substantial amount of energy used for data center cooling is poor airflow effects such as hot-aisle to cold-aisle air recirculation. To correct these and to investigate innovative designs that will notably increase efficiency requires a robust, well-verified computational fluid dyn...
