Numerical Investigation of the Reynolds Number and Pitch Ratio Effect on the...cristina paduano
This numerical investigation studied the effect of Reynolds number and pitch ratio on the lock-in ability of an aeroacoustic field in ducted flows. The study found that:
- The onset of aeroacoustic resonance depended on both the Reynolds number and the pitch ratio of the cylinders. Higher Reynolds numbers and smaller pitch ratios increased the likelihood of resonance.
- For a two cylinder configuration, resonance only occurred above a Reynolds number of 27,000.
- For a four cylinder configuration, resonance was more likely at smaller pitch ratios and higher Reynolds numbers.
- A multiple cylinder array only exhibited resonance under conditions of high Reynolds number and small pitch ratio that produced coherent vortex shedding matching the acoustic frequency

1. JAMES F. DICKINSON, NCARB
ARCHITECT -- PROJECT MANAGER
Bachelor of Science - Architecture - New York Institute of Technology
A registered architect with over 30 years of experience, Mr. Dickinson is a solution-oriented and
versatile “Project Director” skilled at getting the right personnel and resources into the right place at the
proper time. He specializes in high-quality design of major data center and hospital projects; and
consistently reduces construction costs through superior planning and design. Mr. Dickinson has led
the fast-track coordination of a $160 million corporate headquarters, redesigned a corporate
headquarters of 1,150 workstations, and managed relocation of a Wall Street firm’s $80 million
headquarters with complete interior work totaling 250,000 SF. Additionally, he has completed four
major hospital additions totaling $60 million as well as a new 150,000 SF hospital totaling $90 million.
He has also provided real estate / data center due diligence studies, reports, and recommendations.
Recent Projects / Details of particular interest:
1) Senior Project Director, Switch & Data Inc. Data Center.
General: 61,000 SF data center with a preliminary budget of $78 million. The final cost
estimate came in at $66 million. Value Engineering required to save client leased costs due to
budget constraints.
Atlanta, GA – First phase progressing at this time with recent financing approval for this project
having been received in 7 / 2009. (Plan below)
Architectural: 30” raised floor with full height / 1 hour rated drywall partitions & special Data
Center ceilings were employed. Designed complex spaces around existing equipment &
neighboring tenants; also, planned entire data center within tight space constraints for
maximum value in the least amount of space.
Structural: Due to heavy equipment, structural steel sections were used to span from column
to column to support ½” steel plate raised platforms in the second floor (of former
“Downtown” department store of total concrete construction) for battery & heavy Electrical &
HVAC equipment. Due to tight space / land constraints, coordinated the structural study for
possible upgrade of structure for 6 rooftop generators plus cooling towers and platforms for
all rooftop items.
Electrical: Minimal original electric power existed. Coordination required for the concurrently
maintainable / tier III data center. Extensive designing required for the / complex power
requirement and increasing the electric power supply to the floor location by 450%.
Additional revision of layout for electrical equipment was required to condense floor plan and
conserve valuable space to save lease costs.
Mechanical: Coordinated the design of providing proper requirements for a redundant /
concurrently maintainable tier III (Uptime Institute Requirements) data center with appropriate
chillers, pumps, and associated equipment on the 6th floor with piping in old elevator shafts to
2nd floor.
Fire Protection: Pre-action sprinklers employed along with gaseous fire protection (FM-200)
for maximum safety of preserving equipment
Page 1 of 12
2. JAMES F. DICKINSON, NCARB
ARCHITECT -- PROJECT MANAGER
Role: Program Management and coordination of all disciplines / engineers leading to a total
of105 drawings including regular communication with the client. Also created “Floor Plan” as
part of design services; and planning for future “heat recovery” to transfer to existing separate
building.
2) Senior Project Director, State of Montana.
General: Two 12,500 SF data centers totaling $16.5M in construction value. Original Cost
estimate at $19.5M -- Value Engineering required to contend with state budget constraints.
Helena, Montana: Consultant to local architect. State of Montana contact: Mike Boyer – (W)
406-444-3279. – progressing with state funding approval received in 09/2008. The project
progress to date is within budget and on schedule
Page 2 of 12
3. JAMES F. DICKINSON, NCARB
ARCHITECT -- PROJECT MANAGER
Architectural: 24” raised floor with full height / 1 hour rated drywall partitions & ceilings. Site is
adjacent to a state highway interchange; therefore, a 3 hour concrete & masonry wall is
designed to protect the data center from any possible auto / truck severe accident / explosion
on the highway.
Structural: Economical Masonry / wall bearing construction (value engineering item) with long
span bar-joists. 6” slab on grade with 5” concrete slab roof to protect equipment; and 4’-0”
deep footings due to climate conditions were required.
Electrical: New construction, full electric service + UPS, switchgear and 3 generators.
Included, study to relocate existing generators to new site – due to expense; existing
equipment would remain for redundant use by remaining state agencies at original location.
Mechanical: Coordinated the task of providing proper requirements for a tier III (Uptime
Institute Requirements) data center with appropriate equipment and associated piping.
Coordinated the design of the innovative “Kyoto Cooling Concept” (KCC) to take full
advantage of the colder climate of Montana, whereby the cold exterior air is brought into the
space with a complex design of dampers / fans / controls; and the hot air produced by the
computer equipment is transferred to the outside simultaneously (See Photo below). This
process has been proven to achieve a “Power Utilization Efficiency” (PUE) of approximately
1.25.
Fire Protection: Pre-action sprinklers employed along with gaseous fire protection (FM-200)
for maximum safety of preserving equipment
Role: Program Management and coordination of all disciplines / engineers including regular
communication with the client & engineers in a very innovative “Heat Wheel” (KCC) to save
huge cooling costs by using cold climate exterior air to cool data center. Also performed “Floor
Plan” design services; and planning for future “heat recovery” for existing separate building.

3) Senior Project Director, University of Oklahoma. The construction of this 13,000 SF data center
in existing building in a tornado zone is awaiting $34.3 million financing.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma contact: David Horton – (W) 405-271-2644. – Currently awaiting
state funding.
Architectural: 24” raised floor with full height / 2 hour rated CMU partitions & ceilings. Due to
Slab on Grade conditions concrete masonry units (CMU) were the most economical partition
method. 2 hour rated CMU was used for the added strength for tornado resistance.
Structural: Existing structure required full analyzing to determine tornado resistance. Data
Center was located in the Northeast corner to avoid added exposure to tornado approaching
from the southwest.
Electrical: Study of existing electric service required to determine anticipated needs; intricate
electrical design + UPS, switchgear and generators required. Included, study to relocate new
/ added transformers adjacent existing transformers within tight space constraints of site.
Mechanical: Coordinated the design of providing proper complex routing of new piping from
existing campus – wide utility tunnels to the site within the concrete building; plus
requirements for a tier III (Uptime Institute Requirements) data center with appropriate
chillers, pumps, and associated piping.
Role: Management and coordination of all disciplines including regular communication with the
client and advisement on data center placement within existing building to minimize tornado
damage threat.

30,000 SF data center completed on schedule and within the budget at $42 million.
Owner contact: Alex Krynicki: 201-269-3400
Architectural: Data Center expansion with 24” raised floor with full height / 2 hour rated CMU
