It looks impressive enough, but the current rage of using computational fluid dynamics modeling software in data centers is creating a false sense of security in anticipating computer equipment heat loads. The very elegant and impressive color renderings of cold airflows generated by CFD software are totally dependent on the installed cooling equipment actually delivering assumed capacities.

This event was attended by over 70 engineers, from Germany and beyond, who had the opportunity to meet with key CD-adapco personnel, and learn about the tangible benefits of applying deopen in their engineering process.

The purpose of this project is to determine how computational fluid dynamics can be effectively used to characterize fluid flow and to predict blood damage in medical devices.

Prof. Jasak is a coauthor of OpenFOAM, a C++ library and software suite for numerical simulation in continuum mechanics. He will work with Pointwise’s development team on implementing a native interface between Pointwise’s meshing software and OpenFOAM.
