Description
Computer Room Air Conditioning Considering Radiation and Dust Particles (DPM) ANSYS Fluent CFD Simulation Tutorial
The present problem simulates air conditioning in an office with several computers and simulators using ANSYS Fluent software. The air conditioning system in the current model is of floor heating and ceiling cooling. In these systems, the buoyancy effect causes free heat transfer inside the office space.
Due to the lightness, the hot air moves from the floor to the ceiling, and the cold air does the opposite, thus creating a circulating flow that causes the air conditioning process.
In this modeling, airflow enters the office from circular sections with a speed of 0.6125 m/s and a temperature of 291.1 K. It exits through rectangular sections on the office roof with a pressure equal to atmospheric pressure.
We design the present model in three dimensions using Design Modeler software. The model’s geometry includes an office desk measuring 6.35 m and 5.4 m at floor level and 2.7 m high. In the office, 4 computer cases and 4 simulators are located as heat sources. There are also sections such as air inlets and outlets on the floor and ceiling of the office.
We have meshed the model using ANSYS Meshing software, and the mesh type is unstructured. The element number is 3089035.
Air Conditioning Methodology
In this model, we define the Radiation model due to the radiant heat transfer between the surfaces inside the office. Also, we define particles using the DPM in inlet sections to study the behavior of airflow and the type of circulation inside the interior of the office.
Inside the office, there are 4 computer cases and 4 simulators. Due to their function, they generate a certain amount of heat and transfer it to the office’s interior. Four case devices have a heat flux boundary condition of 152.5 W/m2. Also, 4 simulators have a heat flux boundary condition of 90.56 W/m2.
Air Conditioning Conclusion
At the end of the solution process, two-dimensional and three-dimensional contours related to pressure, velocity, temperature, and three-dimensional velocity vectors are obtained. By examining these particles’ behavior and type of displacement, the flow of airflow can be analyzed.

I was wondering if the DPM analysis shows where the dust particles tend to accumulate most in the computer room setup?
MR CFD Support –
In the DPM analysis, tracking the dust particles allows us to observe their trajectories and final deposition. The analysis usually reveals accumulation in regions with lower air velocities or in stagnation areas. The exact locations vary based on the airflow patterns established by the air conditioning system.
Rachelle Feest Jr. –

Dr. Pattie Gerhold –
This tutorial includes radiation and DPM for the simulation. Were both these elements vital for the accuracy of this simulation, merely because they’re both complex phenomena?
MR CFD Support –
In this simulation, both radiation and Discrete Phase Model (DPM) are important to accurately simulate the heat transfer and airflow within the computer room. Radiation accounts for the thermal effects caused by equipment such as computers and simulators, and DPM helps to understand the behavior of dust particles carried by the air, which is important in maintaining a clean and functional office environment.
Lelia Hayes –
The tutorial sounds really comprehensive. Is there also data on how dust particles affect the durability and performance of the computers over time within this airflow analysis?
MR CFD Support –
I’m so glad you enjoyed the tutorial and found it comprehensive. As for the long-term effects of dust particles on the durability and performance of computers, that specific aspect isn’t covered in this simulation. The main focus here is on the airflow, temperature distribution, and dust particles’ immediate behavior. However, that’s a significant point, and it can be explored with an extended study using the deposition models and monitoring over time in the software.
Dalton Weimann III –
The product’s tutorial appears in-depth, but I am curious—how does the addition of the Radiation model and DPM affect the accuracy of the results?
MR CFD Support –
Including the Radiation model allows the simulation to account for radiant heat transfer between surfaces in the office, enhancing the realism of the results since many indoor environments experience some level of radiative heat exchange. The DPM (Discrete Phase Model) tracks dust particles and their interaction with the airflow, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of indoor environmental quality. These additions typically improve predictive capabilities, offering a thorough analysis of thermal comfort and air quality within the conditioned space.
Prof. Sierra Bode DVM –
Is it possible to visualize the thermal comfort levels within the office based on the simulation results?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, the simulation results provide enough data to analyze and visualize thermal comfort levels. The contours related to pressure, velocity, temperature, and three-dimensional velocity vectors can be used to assess the distribution of temperature and airflow within the office, both of which are key factors in determining thermal comfort.
Prof. Tom Schuster –
Could you explain how the DPM model is integrated into the simulation to analyze the behavior of dust particles in the office air conditioning scenario?
MR CFD Support –
In the simulation, the DPM (Discrete Phase Model) is integrated to simulate and track the trajectory of dust particles as they interact with the office airflow. The dust particles are introduced at the air inlets and are carried by the airflow throughout the office, influenced by the thermal currents and ventilation system. The DPM allows us to analyze the distribution and accumulation of these particles and assess air quality as well as the efficiency of the air conditioning system in removing particulate matter.

I found the explanation of the heating and cooling sources particularly interesting. Can you elaborate on how the DPM model factors account into the overall air conditioning performance within the computer room? Particularly curious about the nature and impact of dust particles.
MR CFD Support –
The DPM model adds the simulation of discrete particles such as dust to the airflow dynamics. The impact of dust particles is analyzed by tracking their trajectories through the office air. This allows for understanding how dust distribution affects air quality and equipment maintenance. Also, it aids in assessing whether the air conditioning’s flow circulation is sufficient to prevent dust accumulation in critical areas where electronics are present, thus impacting overall air conditioning performance by considering particulate contaminant transport.

Can you explain how the DPM model impacts the study of airflow circulation in the office environment in comparison to scenarios without considering dust particles?
MR CFD Support –
In this simulation, the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) accounts for the dust particles’ potential impact on the air circulation within the office. By including these particles, the model provides insights into how contamination or particle distribution behaves due to airflow dynamics, providing a more comprehensive analysis of indoor air quality and maintaining a healthier environment than scenarios only considering clean air without particles.
