A builder shared a datacenter cooling layout optimizer that runs OpenFOAM simulations to optimize CRAC placement against heat and airflow constraints.
- Focuses on cooling layout optimization for AI-heavy datacenters
- Uses OpenFOAM solves on the facility layout
- Still limited to smaller real-world sites, not massive rack-scale deployments
- The author is asking for better optimization approaches
