Abstract

In an implementation, a method for managing airflow provisioning in an area comprising a plurality of racks, wherein a plurality of fluid moving devices are to supply airflow to the plurality of racks through a plurality of adjustable vent tiles, includes accessing a model that describes airflow transport and distribution within the area, said model comprising a plurality of parameters, determining values for the plurality of parameters, and implementing the model to partition the area into a plurality of fluid moving device zones of influence with a desired level of overlapping among the plurality of fluid moving device zones of influence.
