MCE uses two different programs for CFD modeling. One of those programs, Tileflow, we use for modeling airflow in a computer room environment. With this tool, we can perform:

• Growth modeling: Predicts hotspots and trouble areas in advance
• Failure Analysis: Model cooling performance if a cooling component fails
• Optimize airflow: Many data centers require excess capacity due to inefficient airflow
• Guide commissioning efforts to identify hot spots or potential problem areas.

The other CFD modeling program is not restricted to computer rooms and we have used it for unique airflow analysis situations. Both of these programs are design tools that give us the ability to analyze and predict airflow so we can optimize the design prior to construction.
