Hydra-Cool: Buoyancy-Assisted Retrofit Cooling for Hyperscale Data Centers

Hydra-Cool is an open engineering research project exploring buoyancy-assisted seawater retrofit cooling for coastal hyperscale data centers. The repository includes staged simulation campaigns, high-resolution parameter sweep studies, publication-grade figures, manuscript materials, and citation metadata for evaluating feasible design windows and hydraulic constraints. The current scientific framing treats Hydra-Cool primarily as a hybrid retrofit assist architecture rather than as a universally passive standalone replacement.
