      abstract = {Air-conditioning system is an integrated part of the ship  design and plays an important role in providing comfortable  and healthy cabin environment for crews, passengers and  also ensuring efficient thermal management in electrical  compartments encompassing IT equipment and computer  systems. Understanding the temperature and velocity  distribution and the redistribution of cold air to  electrical compartments could greatly improve energy  efficiency, necessary for thermal management and ensuring  reliable operation. To this end, optimized design of a  cabin air distribution system is a necessary aspect of the  cabin air conditioning system. Computational fluid dynamics  (CFD) is an excellent modeling tool that can be used in the  design process to simulate thermal performance of the  mechanical systems. In this paper, CFD simulation is  utilized to analyze the thermal behavior of a warship  electrical compartment to pinpoint the cooling issues.  Steady state simulations are conducted by employing  a Cartesian grid and the standard turbulence k-ε model and  grid dependency tests are performed with respect to cabin  exhaust temperature. Temperature field and flow pattern of  a compartment will be studied to cast a light on the  compartment cooling issues.},
