The numerical model will serve for the flow simulation inside the data rack. For the aim of experimental verification of the server model, a PIV （particle image velocimetry） method was used. The server model was projected based on the original Rack Workstation Dell Precision 17,5400 （2U rack space）. The flow rate in each channel was implemented with the help of pressure loss, which was set up so that the server flow rate corresponded with the measured values. The verification of the correct functioning of the numerical model of the server was carded out together with verifying the numerical model of a small data rack. The experiment was compared with the numerical model for the case of data rack （12U rack space） fitted with two 2U rack workstations Dell Precision R5400, on which the simulation of several phases of the entire data rack with given configuration was carried out.展开更多
