In accordance with at least one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for evaluating cooling performance of an electronics system is provided. The method includes acts of dividing the electronics system into a computational grid including a plurality of fluid cells and a plurality of solid cells, determining air flow values for the plurality of fluid cells using a potential flow model analysis, determining a temperature of a fluid cell by calculating heat transfer into the fluid cell from any adjacent fluid cells and from any adjacent solid cells, determining a temperature of a solid cell by calculating heat transfer into the solid cell from any adjacent solid cells and heat transfer out of the solid cell into any adjacent fluid cells, and storing, on a storage device, the air flow values and the temperature of the fluid cell and the temperature of the solid cell. |
