Claim One:
1. A method for determining a viable containment design of a data center and systematic implementation of the determined containment design in the data center using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based virtual simulation, the method comprises steps of: collecting, by a processor, data pertaining to a plurality of design and operational parameters of the data center using a Design and Operational Parameters Collection Module; performing, by the processor, CFD simulations for collected design and operational parameters' data for each individual containment design thereby determining a viable containment design of the data center by comparing CFD simulation results of various containment designs and providing a set of recommendations for the viable containment design implementation using a Containment Design Determination Module; and implementing, by the processor, the set of recommendations of the determined containment design in the data center, systematically using a Containment Design Implementation Module, wherein recommendation of the determined viable containment design is systematically implemented in the data center comprising implemented steps of: checking each of the recommendations for their practical implementation feasibility; re-evaluating the containment design using the containment design determination module for getting refined recommendations if all the recommendations are not feasible for implementations; building a CFD model using collected data pertaining to design and operational parameters of the data center; comparing thermal and flow profiles generated by each parametric study thereby obtaining the operational parameters for each containment design and calculating uniformity index to check the variability of temperature inside the containment, wherein the uniformity index is the root mean square value of rack temperature; and physically implementing the design recommendations, in the data center, in a phased manner where the recommendation is feasible, wherein perforated tile positions are implemented first followed by switching on required number of design Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRACs) as per the design recommendation followed by implementation of other design recommendations and the operational recommendations.
