Turning Frost into Warmth: A Data Center Holiday Story

December 16, 2025

As the year winds down, we found inspiration far from our usual engineering corridors in a quiet little town near the North Pole. It’s a place where winter never takes a break, where lights twinkle through long nights, and where warmth is more than comfort—it’s community. This year, our team imagined a story set there. […]

Simulating Thermal Fluids: Powering Innovation Through Virtual Design

November 12, 2025

Complexities of Thermal Fluids From power generation and HVAC systems to electric vehicles and data centers, thermal fluids are central to how energy moves and systems perform. Their behavior determines efficiency, reliability, and sustainability—but it’s far from simple to predict. Real-world thermal-fluid systems are inherently nonlinear and operated dynamically, with temperature, pressure, and flow intricately […]

Simulating Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs): The Future of Data Center Cooling

June 25, 2025

Why CDUs are the key to liquid-cooling efficiency and how they can be simulated. Introduction to CDUs: A Critical Enabler Data centers are critical to modern society, and their rapid expansion—driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and hyperscale infrastructure—is transforming the way we process and store data. A significant increase in electricity consumption accompanies this […]
