Selected Projects

Data Center
	Modeling of Flow Patterns
		Analysis of a section of a room for air flow patterns.
		Optimized blower location / shrouding for a mobile data center.
	Airflow and thermal CFD analysis to predict the air supply and exhaust temperatures of racks/systems contained in Data Room and TELCO environment.
