Common Questions

CFD Analysis — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CFD Analysis, Thermal Comfort Analysis, and Data Center CFD services.

What is CFD Analysis and why does my data center need it?

CFD Analysis (Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis) uses numerical simulation to model how air and heat move through a space. Data centers use CFD Analysis to identify hot spots before they cause outages, optimize airflow containment strategies, and validate cooling infrastructure — reducing risk and improving Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).

What is Thermal Comfort Analysis?

Thermal Comfort Analysis is a CFD-based study that predicts occupant comfort using Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD) metrics per ASHRAE 55 and ISO 7730. It is used for offices, hospitals, airports, schools, and residential buildings to ensure HVAC systems deliver genuine comfort rather than just temperature targets.

Which software is used for Data Center CFD Analysis?

We use DCX by Cadence (formerly Future Facilities) for data center-specific CFD Analysis and ANSYS Fluent (commercially licensed) for general CFD and Thermal Comfort Analysis. Large-scale projects use Rescale HPC cloud computing for parallel simulation runs.

Do you provide CFD Analysis services in the USA, Canada, and Europe?

Yes. All of our CFD Analysis and Thermal Comfort Analysis services are delivered remotely, meaning we work with clients across the USA, Canada, and all major European markets including the UK, Germany, Netherlands, France, and Ireland. Project files and deliverables are exchanged digitally.

How does Data Center CFD Analysis improve PUE?

Data Center CFD Analysis pinpoints inefficient airflow patterns — recirculation zones, bypass airflow, and poorly mixed supply air — that force cooling units to work harder. With simulation data, engineers can implement targeted fixes: better containment, blanking panels, CRAH repositioning, or raised floor tile placement changes that measurably lower PUE.

What ASHRAE standards apply to Thermal Comfort Analysis?

ASHRAE Standard 55 (Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy) and ISO 7730 are the primary international standards for Thermal Comfort Analysis. Our CFD simulations calculate PMV and PPD values to verify compliance, supporting building certification processes including LEED, BREEAM, and WELL.

Expertise

Why Choose SuperDesignTech for CFD Analysis?

SuperDesignTech is a specialist CFD Analysis consultancy with over two decades of focused experience in Thermal Comfort Analysis and Data Center CFD Analysis. Unlike generalist engineering firms, every project we take on is a CFD simulation — meaning our depth of expertise in airflow modelling, turbulence settings, solver configuration, and post-processing visualisation is unmatched.

Our Data Center CFD Analysis service uses DCX by Cadence, the industry-leading purpose-built data center simulation platform, alongside licensed ANSYS Fluent for complex thermal-fluid cases. This dual-software capability means we can model everything from a single server hall to a multi-building campus — including raised-floor plenum dynamics, CRAC/CRAH airflow, liquid cooling loops, and containment configurations.

For Thermal Comfort Analysis, we apply ASHRAE 55, ISO 7730, and EN 15251 frameworks to deliver compliance-ready PMV/PPD reports that satisfy planning authorities, sustainability assessors, and building operators across the USA, Canada, and Europe.

Global Service
