Seminar 29 -- Browser and Cloud-based Solutions to Airflow Modeling Challenges

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.
The pandemic and environmental crisis has highlighted the need for routine use of airflow modeling for health/safety in occupied spaces and energy conservation in data centers. Browser and cloud-based tools offer convenience, performance improvements, and reduced cost through scale. This session shows current applications of browser and cloud-based airflow modeling in the form of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and multizone indoor air quality (IAQ) modeling for aerosol tracking and exposure as well as CFD for the design and management of data centers.
