Prefabricated modular data centers, often referred to as integrated modular solutions or containerized data centers, are designed to cater to specific business needs, providing a tailored and secure infrastructure that differs from conventional brick-and-mortar designs. Modular data center solutions integrate power, thermal management, and other essential components into a cohesive system that is pre-assembled and factory-tested off-site. This approach greatly minimizes deployment time and the amount of work needed on-site.
Our Client manages a diverse portfolio of innovative IT companies operating in 70 countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. They provide a range of services including managed IT services and consultancy, system integration, cloud and data center solutions, software and hardware offerings, as well as technology distribution.
The modular data center analyzed in this CFD study comprises 10 racks, collectively dissipating 65 kW of heat, and is cooled by five close control air conditioning units (CCUs). The project scope involves creating a 3D CAD model sufficient for performing CFD analysis, generating an appropriate mesh that accurately represents the relevant physical phenomena while ensuring good convergence, executing CFD analysis across various heat density combinations, and producing a comprehensive report that includes conclusions and recommendations for enhancements.
The CFD mesh is composed of high-quality polyhedral hex core elements, adhering to the best practices in CFD analysis. The total cell count is 4 million, with refinement applied in areas of high flow and thermal gradients.
The primary outcomes derived from the CFD model include temperature contour plots, velocity streamlines, and heat flux measurements. The CFD analysis is conducted for four distinct operating combinations of the CCU, with redundancy incorporated to simulate the most adverse thermal conditions.

CFD analysis for underground transport tunnel:Al Shamiya Expansion Project,Makkah,Saudi Arabia
Underground tunnel infrastructure offers faster direct routes and excellent connectivity between communities. The tunnel needs a reliable ventilation system for continuous air provision to limit the concentration of air pollutants during normal tunnel operation and to transport smoke gases out of the tunnel during emergency smoke extraction. Our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation results have enabled our client to understand the flow development in the complete tunnel and gain confidence in the proposed Jet fans and various operating combinations of motorized dampers for smoke extraction in an emergency. Our precise CFD analysis results have enabled our client to make conscious engineering decisions to achieve better resource efficiency and safety compliance. Read More
CFD analysis to predict flow development in wind turbine blade mold facility-LM Wind Power-India
We carried out CFD analysis for the HVAC Jet Nozzle system proposed in the Wind turbine blade molding division at the LM wind power blade manufacturing plant in Bangalore. The blade manufacturing plant consists of four molding bays; for each bay, cold air will be supplied through 2 AHU units. Each AHU unit is connected to 40 Jet Nozzles. The main objective of CFD analysis is to analyze airflow, air-impinging angle, and the flow regime. The flow regime plays a significant role from Health and safety perspective. We have explained our results to the Management of LM Wind power and recommended suggestions for Improvement. Read More
CFD analysis for General Electric data center,Bihar,India
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is extensively used in data center projects to study the flow development and temperature field and identify the thermal hot spots in the projects design stage. CFD analysis results enable the thermal designer to make well-informed decisions in the design stage and eliminate all the uncertainties that may affect the electronic equipment mounted in the racks. We carried out CFD analysis for the large data center under construction in the Bihar state of India by Shapoorji and Pallonji EPC company, one of the largest EPC Companies in India. Our CFD analysis results have enabled our customers to optimize the air-cooling system and ultimately to realize an efficient, safer, and effective data center cooling mechanism. Read More
Optimization of hot and cold aisle rack/cabinet configuration in a data center using CFD analysis
The hot and cold aisles in the data center are part of an energy-efficient layout for server racks and other computing equipment. The goal of a hot/cold aisle configuration is to manage airflow in a way that conserves energy and lowers cooling costs. A containment system isolates hot and cold aisles from each other and prevents hot and cold air from mixing. Our client is executing a turnkey contract for a bank data center in Kuwait. We worked with our client from the beginning stage of the project and assisted them with our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis results. Our CFD analysis results have enabled our client to arrive at the best operating sequence of the cooling units. Read More
