Abstract
A system for determining and displaying air temperature, pressure, or velocity in an information technology (IT) room including an IT equipment rack. The system comprises a processor configured to receive a model of a layout of equipment within an IT room, define a primary computational grid including base grid cells with dimensions having a first ratio, define a set of computational grid origin offsets for the model, determine a hybrid computational grid having base grid cells, an origin offset selected from among the set of computational grid origin offsets, and a variable grid for the model associated with the computational grid origin offset having a lowest penalty score, perform a computational fluid dynamics analysis of the model utilizing the hybrid computational grid, and provide a display in a graphical user interface illustrating one or more of air temperatures, air pressures, or airflow velocities within the IT room.
