1. A method for controlling thermal management of a device including a computer via a thermal system including a climate control system, the method comprising:
obtaining, via a flow sensor, flow data as to a flow of coolant of the thermal system;
determining, via a processor, one or more characteristics of the flow of the coolant of the thermal system, including an aeration of the coolant of the thermal system, based on the flow data; and
adjusting control of the thermal system for the thermal management of the device in a manner that remediates the aeration of the coolant, based on the one or more characteristics of the flow of the coolant of the thermal system, via instructions provided by the processor.
