The distributed climate inside a greenhouse mainly results from mass, momentum and energy transfers occurring through the openings or through the cover. These transfers can be assessed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. However, to date very few studies considered properly the radiative exchanges between the surfaces inside the calculation domain by solving simultaneously the radiative...
The effect of wind speed and roof vent opening configuration on airflow and temperature patterns in a compartmentalised glasshouse was numerically analysed by means of two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The numerical model was first successfully validated against ventilation rate data collected in a 2600m 2 four-span glasshouse divided into two compartments separated by a...
