Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Experimental results are reported that are used to specify inlet and boundary conditions for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of forced convection cooling in racks containing telecommunication switching equipment. The flow field created by a fan-unit (inlet condition) is measured using Laser Doppler Velocimetry; the thermal resistance and pressure drop of heat-sinks (boundary conditions) are measured in a low-speed windtunnel. The combined use of CFD and supporting experiments is shown to be indispensable for obtaining accurate simulation results. |
