Apr 1, 2021 This is my bachelor degree dissertation in Chinese during my time at Wuhan University. About one year later, I tried to connect (make bad use of) it with my data sonification project.

Framework

In this project, I studied how to optimized the air distribution in a small space (5G base station) through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). I made simulations of the room and equipment geometry to conduct controlled experiments on different factors including air supply methods, room layouts, and airflow containment.

Methods

  • Heat Transfer inside base station
    • notion image
  • Simplification of geometry modeling
    • notion image
  • Mathematical models
    • Governing equations
      • notion image
    • k-ε turbulence model
      • notion image
  • Experiments
    • CFD grid generation
      • notion image
    • Baseline
      • notion image
    • Experiment results for 13 strategies (metric: heat source temperature and thermal efficiency ηt)
      • notion image
        notion image
        notion image
        notion image

Final presentation (Chinese)

Something Fun

While doing the data sonification course later at Columbia, I try to bring the simulation data to Max/MSP to sonify the air distribution change caused by different factors in the environment (room geometry, air supply methods, etc.) to make noise out of the wind.
