SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING PERFORATED TILE AIRFLOW IN A DATA CENTER

摘要

Systems and methods provide determinations of airflow from a raised floor plenum. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method is provided for predicting airflow from a plurality of openings in a plenum, including determining an average air pressure in the plenum, determining an airflow value for each of the openings based on the average air pressure, dividing the plenum into a plurality of grid cells, determining a value for airflow velocity for each of the grid cells, determining an air pressure value at each of the openings based on the airflow velocity, determining a new airflow value for each one of the plurality of openings based on the air pressure value, determining whether a difference between the new airflow values and previous airflow values is greater than a threshold, and storing the new airflow value for each one of the plurality of openings as a final airflow value.
