Is Liquid Cooling Right For Your Data Center?


We live in an exciting time—liquid cooling, which once seemed more trouble than it’s worth, is fast becoming an accepted and sought-after technology in the data center industry. That said, it’s still a complex technology to implement, especially in legacy facilities. Is your data center ready to operationalize liquid cooling? Liquid cooling in the data center Liquid cooling in the d... » read more

Powering The Future Of Flight: Designing A Hydrogen-Powered eVTOL


A large, bustling city surrounds you — crowded streets and tall buildings reaching toward the sky. You’re late for an appointment. However, instead of hopping into a car, you look above for your ride: an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle. It is a small aircraft that takes off and lands vertically like helicopters, uses sustainable electric propulsion systems, and is inte... » read more

Real-World Applications Of Computational Fluid Dynamics


More powerful chips are enabling chips to process more data faster, but they're also having a revolutionary impact on how that data can be used. Simulations that used to take days or weeks now can be completed in a matter of hours, and multi-physics simulations that were implausible to even consider are now very much in the realm of what is possible. Parviz Moin, professor of mechanical enginee... » read more

The Journey Of The Olympic Torch: History, Design, And Technology


The Olympic Torch represents a rich, blended history of ancient traditions and modern values. Bearing the iconic flame, the Olympic torch relay honors the symbolic power of fire, embodying purity, passion, and perseverance. The flame ignites in Olympia, Greece, through the sun's rays—linking the ancient and modern Games—and journeys to the host city, where it illuminates the "Celebration Ca... » read more

How Simulation Addresses Hydrogen Fuel Challenges


By Kiyoung Jung and Kyutae Kim Hydrogen has gained the front seat as a fuel for carbon neutrality. The absence of carbon emission at the point of utilization makes it attractive for net-zero initiatives. Hydrogen fuel possesses qualities like higher flame speed (8x higher), lower ignition energy requirements (15x lower), and wider flammability limit (4% to 70%) compared to typical hydrocar... » read more

Accelerating Speed And Accuracy In Aeroacoustic Predictions


Simulating aeroacoustics is a tedious task that blends the complexities of fluid dynamics with the nuances of acoustic phenomena. This dual-domain challenge is marked by numerous technical obstacles, ranging from the wide range of scales involved to the subtler distinctions of acoustic signals amidst turbulent flows. To navigate these technical difficulties and advance our understanding of aero... » read more

The industry is committed to creating a more sustainable future with the growing trend towards electric-powered vehicles and mass production. In 2022, the global production of motor vehicles increased by 5.7%, producing 85.4 million vehicles. However, the industry faces the challe... » read more

Digital Twins And AI Acceleration Are Transforming System Design


We are at a global inflection point as we cope with the limitations of energy supply and the consequences of climate change. Regional conflicts are elevating risks in the traditional crude oil supply chain. Changes in rainfall patterns and disputes over water use priorities are limiting hydroelectric power generation. Moreover, extreme weather events have intensified the threat to lives and pro... » read more

Expecting The Unexpected: Analyzing A Data Center Cooling Failure


Data center thermal management is often a reactive process. Servers issue warning messages, monitoring alarms activate, or employees express concern about general temperature levels/hotspots and then management decides what to do next. For incremental issues, once known, the necessary steps can be taken to resolve or improve these issues; however, what happens when a potential thermal issue onl... » read more

Fuel Economy And Aerodynamics: The Yin And Yang Of Car Design


From the classic Model T to the iconic American muscle cars, the design of cars has been shaped by many factors over the years. Technological advancements, consumer preferences, and government regulations have all played their part. But one factor that has been a game changer is fuel efficiency. The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, introduced in the aftermath of the 1973 oil em... » read more
