Numerical Simulation of Hydrodynamic and Heat-Mass Exchange Processes of a Microclimate Control System in an Industrial Greenhouse

Abstract

Based on the conducted analysis, the main disadvantages of numerical simulation for greenhouses have been determined. Numerical simulation of hydrodynamic and heat-mass exchange processes, which take place when heating and ventilating systems interact inside operational buildings of industrial greenhouses, has been conducted. Having used ANSYS Fluent software package for numerical simulation, temperature and velocity fields, velocity vectors and radiant heat flow in a greenhouse have been obtained. The findings can be used in order to improve the heating and ventilating systems of greenhouse complexes.
